That is an interesting way to put spray rails on. Seems like a clever idea to me.

I kinda stumbled on the the corner round from a piece I had left over from the c17 build I had been looking for the shape I wanted to use to get the right angle for the spray rails when I rested the strip on the side the hull it fit like a glove with the bottom of the of the corner round sitting the lower panels I probably could have easily ran the cr all the way up to the bow with out force but didn't really want to put them on i think the boat looks better without them but i rather be dry so I to the boat to meet me half way 🤣

Nice work Salty, I cant help notice that you have completely built this boat in the time it has taken me to not quite complete a hatch cover. Fantastic job.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Alan.
