Bob: Yes Love them. I have two levels of rub rails on ALLEZ! And added stainless steel to them. Now what I love is also what I call “Cheater pilings Those that are between you and your neighbor enabling you to tie off on both sides. They also stop you from going up against your neighbor. My worst Marina is Titusville, FL. TIDE coming in, wind on your stern coming down the fairway and a concrete wall at the end. and no cheater pilings so with a short fixed dock just short of 34 ft for a 56 LOA BOAT. GET A LINE on A piling quick before Mother Nature carries you into the adjoining dock or neighbor. Then the Dam dock hand doesn’t like your anchor over the main dock and wants to do it all again. Anchor had to go over the main dock not by much so we could get boarding gate at the end of his fixed short dock to get off the boat. Then he wanted us to back in when we take power and water off the bow. Never Again Titusville Says CAPT Helen. We know why some folks call it Tidy Bowl Except lots of BS in there Bob Sent from my i-Pad Chief Engineer Bob Kovach (KJ4UGE) FOR SALE M/Y ALLEZ! 1992 MT50 WIDE-BODY Visit (https://tinyurl.com/y83m925f) Visit: https://www.boattrader.com/boat/1992-marine-trader-50-widebody-7286542/ (Gold Looper) 5-2-2016 MTOA2631, USCG-CWOA, WRCC, AGLCA1979
