Hope to have the motor hung next week at best. I will not install the spray rails unless I get some kind of response from someone who has them. I do know that it will at least create some slap in a head sea, but I have run several 31 Bertrams that have them and it did nothing to affect the ride. I don't want to make a big mistake on a fresh restored boat.

I have beautiful teak spray rails on my 23'. I have not yet run it because I just purchased it to restore. The guy that owned it before me swore by them though. He made sure I didn't have any intentions of taking them off. They look awesome also. I will try and post pictures, but I'm waiting for picturebucket to let me activiate my account. Hope this helps.

Something like these? I'd be interested to know to how they preform. Though I am not too crazy about the looks.

See the website thesmartrail.com. Call the owner. His son has a 23 sc with rails. Ask how they perform. I have them on my flats boat and they not only cut spray by 80+%, they also make the ride softer. I'd put them on my boat in a heartbeat but I don't like the look.

Thanks- I will make the call. Anyone need a 97 200 Oceanpro. Pulling it off for the Suzuki 4 stroke 225. Runs great.
