Hey Scrapper,
Look at where NoBones has his mounted. Follow the side of the boat down to the corner of the bottom. That is the hard chine. You want them level with the bottom of the hull and curving down past it for max effect.
Jimmy should know this...... Only semi displacement boats have them mounted as he suggests.
Many people say they feel the spray is reduced by 80-90 %. Especially in a quartering or head sea. Many also feel that they trap even more air contributing to an even softer ride. Mine are now nice and clean after some acetone and elbow grease.
Mark Hauptner incorporated rails into the hull lay up of the Ocean Masters. The outer taper of the rails is @ 3/8 " below the bottom.
I`ll have mine on soon and let you know my impressions.
