Subject: hull to deck

While removing the toe rail certainly cleans up the boat lines, I think the biggest argument for keeping the full length toe rail is to minimize damage if you're ever T-boned. While I don't know enough about the hull-to-deck joint to speak to structural stiffness, I think even removing the top part could increase damage sustained in a bad collision.

:: I have noticed in the photos that some of the boats
:: have removed the rail cap from the hull to deck. Have
:: there been any problems with these boats? What would be
:: the proper way to do this. I got a really good deal on
:: this boat but this seems dangerous. thanks
