im debating wether i should keep my front rail or not, i think it may look a lot sportier without it, but on the other hand it can be quite functional....
with my masterfull paint shop skills i have made a few pics...

IMHO I'd take take 'em off but it could be a lot of work for not a whole lot of a difference. I agree it looks better without them, but they aren't completely necessary.

to take it off is just nuts and bolts and a case of beer 
i do think it looks sleeker and a bit sportier without it,
kinda looks like a wanabe yaht

I took mine off.
A smaller rail is cheap and easy to install, and you'll never be late for doing it.

Dip_Krew, I'd say it looks markginally better without.
however when you rip it off you'll be left with a load of holes.. is certainly worth finding a decent way to plug them before you go ripping it off

Dip_Krew,
Does it have a small cuddy cabin under the bow? It looked like it in a picture.. It would be a pain getting water in there from rain etc. Mildew will smell.

| Ditch it but be sure to seal those holes good.
