East coast manner? Honestly, I've never heard of such.

Chuck, can you fill me in on what you're meaning?

Well, among other things I have often been told that on the E coast
more boaters prefer aluminum hardware and fittings. Out west, we tend
to use stainless for everything. I'm sure there are other differences
as well, but maybe the commissioning is more regionally centric than
applicable to the entire E cosat.

Aluminum hardware and fittings? Maybe on an aluminum boat.

Oh, oh. Better tell these three companies that there is no market for
their products......

Then there's this modest little boat, offered with an aluminum bow
rail.
An aluminum bow rail would be very rare on the W Coast.

You seem surprised we have those tall towers out here. Simple
explanation, we have big waves out here, we like to see over them- Hide quoted text -

I always thought those towers were for looking down into the water.
All that additional weight and higher COG are worse than useless in
big waves. Last place to add a couple of hundred pounds of weight
(person) in a blow would be that far above the WL- or so I would
think. We have no experience in boats with "towers" out here. We need
to keep the COG closer to the WL.
