That is the question. I just bought a restored 1977 Montauk with side rails, but the owner didn't re-install the bow rail. He cited that they are a pain and are crotch crushers when boarding. I like the way it looks on the Montauks as it gives the boat a more classic look and it gives off the appearance of making the boat look larger.
Thoughts?
