While inspecting a '74 35-2, I noticed something quite alarming: it appears that in an effort to allow drainage off the decks, someone decided to cut a small section of the toerail out, about 1/4" wide, using a hacksaw or recip. saw. I could see where the saw blade nicked the deck slightly below, and it also exposed the hull-deck joint edge.
While this seems like a *really* bad idea, and quite a difficult hack to reverse (I think the toerails are continuous), it also got me wondering how others have solved this problem. In our wet climate, allowing water to pool promotes lots of nasty stuff, which I assume was the reason for this ugly hack job. I suppose one could hide it by attaching a short section of toe rail or similar material on top of the cut, while still allowing water to drain. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com
