[phester]

Franco, how are ya buddy? Question....didn't you cut your bow rail to lower it? Looked at your gallery pics and it sure looks good, looks good off too. Did you do it or did you have it done?

Hey Phes, wassup. Don't mind Willy, He is the Official Body Guard of The Grand Pubah!! I did it my self, I went and found different ends for the rail it self, and all of the t connectors also. I had to shorten the rail and the pipes, I mounted the ends to the deck, replaced the lower pipe mounts, put in the tubes, put the
t-connectors on the bow rail and mocked everything up, marked it with a sharpie, cut it a little long and snuck up on it for the final fit. I had to cut the old crap off with a cutting wheel. Hope this helps

[phester]

so just the rail itself and the upright pipes were the only original pieces used ?

[Franco]

Yeah, the other stuff was really pitted badly, I bought stainless fittings at marine connection for a song to replace it and it just worked out that I could shorten the rail heigth

[willy]

Sorry Phes, saw the times thought you were waiting for an answer on who did it. I knew the Grand one would fill you in as soon as he saw it. :)

[phester]

no worries Willy, and please no need to apoligize, I certainly hope that my responce was not inturpited as a "butt-out", no how, no way.

H*E*L*L, WITH WILLY I HAVE BETTER PROTECTION THE THE SECRET SERVICE HAS ON GEORGE WHATHISNAME!
