Default Re: Spray rail production.



Here is the profile. 2 1/8 " w X 1 3/8" w X 10 ft l.
You can see the slight downward taper on the trailing edge of the bottom, which I like.

The downslope from the top also looks like it wont "catch" as much water while drifting as some designs I`ve seen .




Here is the shape of the bow. These are pvc and it will take some doing to pull them in as Dan noted.

Capo Boatworks LLC has provided perhaps a much better material.

I went to see a local plastic guy for help with the flexibility of the pvc and was not satisfied.



The leading edge looks like it was profiled with a Surform. The look is Down East. I might do a straight taper like NoBones for the pointy end of the boat.

A big factor me is how to make it so easy to install that even a Cave Couple can do it.




Now onto some neat videos I found for free online for mold making and such.

Cheers,
GFS
