In my personal page you can see in the last picture my 110 Tender. I know that Whaler does make bow railing I can order from a local dealer, but can you guys help me think through the idea of REALLY high bow railing (ie West Coast bow rail)? Pros and Cons?

Sal,
How high are you thinking? I had some pretty high ones on my old Sourpuss.

I was just wondering about rails for the 9 footer I just picked up for my grandson.

What are you going to be using the 110 for - fishing, pleasure?
Cons:
I imagine they might be be a bit of an obstacle for fishing while seated.
Too high and they might provide a bit too much leverage if someone with a svelte physique such as mine (6' - 250+) leaned heavily on the top of the railing. Luckily you're not in that situation.

Pros:
Safety, Safety, Safety.

Just some random thoughts.

Mike

The boys (ages 11 and 13) will fish the tender and just putter around..... The type of rail on your sourpus is exactly what I'd like for their tender! ThanksMike.
