I have seen a after market part on the bow of a few Cape Horns that is used to make it a drier ride. does anyone know if it works. what it is called and where to buy it at?

| Not sure what it's called but I do know the guys up at the Cape Horn factory know. One of the main guys who was working at the front desk was telling me about it when I did a tour back in the summer. He said that it makes a big difference. If you figure it out let me know depending on price I may be interested. I did some searching and found this website. I think it's what you're talking about but a little pricey. http://www.fastrails.com/ Here is their number for Cape Horn (850) 626-2211

Yes it is Smart Rails. It's a spray rail. It knocks the spray down before it comes up the side of the boat. It is especially effective in boats that have no flair like a Cape Horn.

I haven't done it yet. I have read alot about it and talked to the guys at the smartrail business. I also talked to a guy in Panama city who has it installed and he says it works pretty good. Go to the company web site and there is a lot of info. The install does not look to bad. Also, call the people (they are kind of tough to get ahold of). The only thing I am waiting for is the temperature to go back up. The surface temperature of the boat must remain above 70 degrees for the glue to cure.

If I remember correctly it cost $589.00. I haven't ordered it yet. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up. The owner recommended I get the M-1000 because of the disappearing chine line. It needs to be at least 3/4" from the nose back 9 ft. I'm pretty excited about getting it, I'm just not gonna tie up the $600 until I'm about ready to do it. I did buy a good set of rain gear in the meantime!

| I put them on a 21 foot Cape I use to have. It was some of the best money I spent on the boat. The rails was only about $350 bucks back then. I just used the 2 piece smart rail kit along the front and started about 4 inches behind the bow eye. Installation took about 6 hours with the help of one other guy. Hope this helps.
