Default Wooden Chimes on hull

I have a 85 I think it is a 20 Superfisher. It has those wooden Chimes on the hull. What is the use of these and should I keep them on? They are in good shape but should I paint them with regular bottom paint or one for wood Thanks Mad B

Default Re: Wooden Chimes on hull

They are commonly referred to as "spray rails" and as the name suggests they are to extend the chine and deflect spray down and away from the boat. I had these on one of my 20's and ended up removing them. They looked cool but I fell they changed the performance of the hull design in a negative way.

If you keep them on and you refinish them sand real good and apply many coats of polyurethane.

They are attached to the hull with a ton of 2 1/2 ss screws. It took me 2 weekends to get them off and then I had some glass repair to do as well.
