[QUOTE="JLeephoto, post: 488252, member: 8856"] I think I’d try it with your boys (in life jackets) a few times before adding rails. Not only do they interfere with fishing but are a trip hazard getting on and off the boat which I think makes them more dangerous than the protection we perceive them offering. Additionally, you can guarantee that every child that gets within reach of a rail will hang their entire weight on it. I have toddlers and their falling in was something we worried about but had been a non-issue on either my fully decked bay boat or my Jon. A better investment might be in auto inflatable life vests so the older kids will be willing to wear them all the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
