Re: Stern rail

Stern rail
My 27 #249 formerly (SKYWALKER) does not have a stern rail. I love her as she is now, however I would like to know what's involved such as cost of purchasing, where to buy and tips on installation.

Re: Foredeck 'stiffness' of lack thereof
I have hull 555 1974. Deck feels solid although never looked up while somebody is waking on top. Is a real dry boat, hardly need to pump bilge. As far as ventilation I will like to have opening ports.
