Oculyer, those are PICTURES. You know how to come across.
Sandman, I have looked at 3 different classics over the past year, and all have had the rails

Well the main reason you see so many spray rails on the 19 ' s is because the hull dose not have the same chine as the 20's do forward on the hull edge. Look at the 20's and you will see the chine runs forward all the way to the nose stepping out wards and turns down slightly. The 19' s don't run as far forward so its not there to break the spray and throw it outwards so rails are added . They get the boat on plane quicker and also keep it from digging in a following sea as well as keep the spray from coming back in the boat. They help on any boat but not needed on a 20 as much as the 19 hull due to it is built out more in the area circled below. There were other changes between the two but that is the main one I know about other than the inside lay out and the stringer grid instead of the box stringers in the 20's. Terry and the guys that have them can tell you much more. I just had some one show me this difference one a long time ago.
