Spray Rails for 23CC

flash · #1 01-12-2005, 08:13 PM

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.

what are looking to get? I can spread the word. Give me some info also about hours, maintenance, etc..

The motor has about 500 hours. I got it when it had 150, and I have had it 3 years. It runs great, just want to go with a new 4 stroke and a little more HP since I am finishing up the final restoration on my 23cc. I don't have a real good handle on what it's worth. I have been looking at trader-on-line and boat trader. Putting an add in boat trader when I find out.

I have sold my 23' but I did put complete Smart rails on. It planed faster, (which wasn't an issue with 400hp), reduced roll drifting tremendously, and cut spray. I would highly recommend them. One thing to consider - if u trailer with rollers, can't let them touch the rollers - it will break the bond and they will come off! Found out the hard way.......
