Default Bow Rail

Wondering. The bow rail was all bent and ready to fall off so I went ahead and removed it. I'll prolly add an anchor roller to avoid havin' to go up on the bow at all.
Any CG req that I replace the bow rail? I never let anyone up there anyway...but, don't wanna run afoul of the regs. TIA

No, there is no CG requirement regarding bow rails. They're not needed, and the boat looks good without them. 8)

yes most boats look alright without them, i think the v20 bennefits from a bow rail, looks wise.

Charlie, I can't imagine the boat without it, It would look.... NAKED! :o
But really, I do use the bow area quite often it is definetly a necessity.
