    Thinking it might look sleeker without the bow rail.

    Thoughts?

    It might look sleeker but how often do you use that rail for tying off fenders? You might regret it later.

    rail is fine on your boat as it already has an arch ( doesn't really lower the "perceived profile")

    I think it looks good, gives it a bit of an "offshore" look!

    I thought about the bumper/fender thing. Out of all the boats I run with, mine is 5+ feet shorter, sits lower and I'm always last in/the slow poke of the bunch so I never am the fender hanger anyway. Once in a while and use a cleat just because it's easier to keep it right in that one spot.

    Perceived height= knew that wouldn't change but thought it had a more "offshore" look with it removed.

    Just tossing out some thing that popped in my head was all.

    I need some 400XS to finish the look!

    I like it on your boat. It completes it somehow...it would look naked without it in my opinion.

    Not to mention, it's probably beneficial for deck stiffness.

    Leave the rail. It'll look better then the holes in the fiberglass where it was mounted

    We are talking about the Center Console in the pic right?? or is there a go-fast somewhere that making bowrail changes will actually affect "sleekness"

    KIDDING..... Sort of

    to be honest, i love center consols, so little maintance, so easy to clean, etc... one i get this go fast, deap crackling sound addiction out of my system, youll see me in one!
