We just purchased a 2000 13' sport whaler. We are are busy making plans for adding all the fun stuff to the boat and have run into an issue. We want to add a bow rail to the boat, but have been told by Whaler that this particular year isn't rated for a bow rail. Is there another way to mount a bow rail on a 2000 that wouldn't compromise the hull structure?

Also, we were told the same issue exists and we can't add a swim ladder. Any suggestions for this?
