I have an early seventies standard 13. This week I picked up a bow rail for it from Craigslist. It is identical to some that I see advertised as OEM rails. Supposedly it was from a later 70's 13 footer. I have not installed it yet because it just looks disproportionally high. Would it be bad form for me to lower it by 4 to 6 inches? It's a sturdy rail but it isn't welded, just screwed together. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks....
That is exactly what I have. It just looks too high. Do you know of anyone who chopped a bow rail like that down?
A visual would help. Either I put it on as is, chop it by 6-8 inches or sell it. Whatever happens, happens this week....once it's in the water it's in the water for the summer and I hate working on it when it's rocking and rolling.
