Welcome aboard, Seafordsea...I wish I had a Seacraft when I was 12. probably not much I can add that you don't already know... some will opine that the spray rails will hamper the ride. It may, but in sloppy seas the handling difference may go unnoticed most of the time. if its blowing and snotty you'll still get wet. My suggestion - add a Seafari or Sceptre to the fleet for foul days offshore. Or a T-top with removable doghouse enclosure...
Several guys have added spray rails but I don't recall anyone saying it was the best thing they'd done. I'm sure they'll chime in soon. Terry had made some for Marshtackie and he was pretty happy about limiting the salt in his vino, low sodium diet, and what not...
