Dennis,

Do you mean Chrome as in Stainless polished, or do you mean Chrome as in 
‘Monkey metal’ plated ?

If the latter, then I would prefer the plastic.

Touché does look great though…

Listers,

Consider chrome when installing or replacing top side thru hull fittings.  When 
I had Touche' painted, I replaced all the white plastic thru hull fittings with 
chrome.  See this picture for one of them.

Makes the boat look soooo much better.  If you don't believe me, wander around 
your marina and look at thru hulls.  The nicer, more expensive boats all have 
chrome fittings.  The "other" boats have plastic.

Yeah, a racer wouldn't want the extra weight.  On the other hand, a metal 
fitting is less likely to break off.  

Call me a thru hull snob if you want but they just look better.
