Welcome to the world of jet boats! You have a real nice ride there. To get you up on the latest lingo the aluminum " railin" is called a "rub rail" and when you mold in the joint between the hull and the deck it's called a "cap". Do a search on this site and you will find lots of help from experts and amatures alike on modifications that you plan to do. Have fun, be safe.
thanks for the compliment. as far as the lingo goes.... when i was writing the post i was suffering from a serious case of brain fart, lol and as far as "capping" (didnt know that one) goes i know how i am going to do it. i am no stranger to customization, i build high dollar custom cars and do custom frabication for a living. I personally wouldnt mind keeping the rub rail but the problem is i havent been able to find the right kind to relpace the one i have when i re gell the boat, plus the studs up under the bow are leaking when i wash the boat. my dad says im being parranoid but i dont like it one bit and i am planning on getting myself up under there with a tube of silicone asap.
ok maybe you can help me out, what is a gunnerwale(sp) ie seen it on a few threads but am not sure what it is...
