spray rails

[Fr. Frank]

Yes, spray rails help. You can have teak rails custom made. Around here, I know a man who put two 10' teak spray rails on his 24' Pro-line. It cost him $600 installed. They are screwed to his hull, as well as installed with poly-sulfide caulk.

Another option is the Smart Rail. About the same price, but you gotta install them yourself. Click here.

If it were me. I would just make them out of Starboard. 5/8" x 1.5" x 8' long. I'd screw them to the hull every foot just above the hard chine, as well as using 3M's 4200 or BoatLife caulk. 5200 would have better hold, but you'd never get 'em off without pulling off the gel-coat. The cost would be under $200.
