Re: Marshall's FS17
Dan - Unknown. I don't see any strong guidance and thought about adding only if needed. Probably above the chine, above the waterline. Do you have any advice? Any suggestions on construction and/or placement? Thanks - Marshall

Re: Marshall's FS17
I have a Lund 16' boat. It has spray rails. But it is still a wet boat. The speed in rough stuff is too slow. Any head seas is a wet ride. The water shoots out off the hull, hits the spray rail and turns into rain!

Re: Marshall's FS17
Here is a video link to Narfi's FS17 in action. VERY smooth water but gives you an idea of how the boat handles spray with reverse chines.

Re: Marshall's FS17
The best thing for spray is a windshield. I don't know about others, but wind in my eyes for about a mile and they start to water so bad I cannot see and have to stop.
If you want to run as a tiller, I understand, but I really struggle with the issue. Goggles are the only way for long runs.

Re: Marshall's FS17
All good; thanks. I think the spray rails will be an add-on if needed. About to add the rub rails now.

Re: Marshall's FS17
For you a little spray in the face might just be a welcome cooling thing. For me there is never a time I welcome getting hit with spray. When you get to 60 degree north spray rails are a must.

Fuzz - Send some of that cool spray my way. It's been a brutally hot summer here.

Re: Marshall's FS17
Yeah, anything at 60deg we stay home here!

Re: Marshall's FS17
Almost the entire state is above 60 degrees.
