Trick rail kit ideas..let's see em'

[poncho-pwr]

I would love to see pictures of anybody's custom rail kit/mounts/plates/driveline covers. I like the way the Lightening stuff looks but I have also seen some one-off rails/mounts/plates/driveline covers that were awesome. If any of you have killer looking rail kits and or rigging that is custom please post up some pictures.

Hey Poncho where can one see the Lightning kit? Do they have a website?

[poncho-pwr]

You can see their stuff right here http://www.boatheaders.com/kits.htm they make some nice headers and drive line covers as well.

HOLY SHIT wsuwrhr!!! That is the nicest rigging I've ever seen. Are you interested in doing work for others? If so how do I get in touch with you. I can't tell you in words hoe impressive that boat looks...Very Very Nice job my friend!

I can't take credit for all of it, but thank you, it was Billy B's vision.
Some of the really cool parts you can't see from these pictures either.

here are some pics of mine done by HTP:
I was really running on a tight budget, so this is sort of an econnomy version.
They do some really beautiful work when they have some dollars to work with!

Ken, that looks good to me. It definitely doesn't look low-budget.

Ok, I understand struts and rear plates and water pickups BUT what the hell are all those bolts holding? Budlight

The bolts are holding what is called a blast plate.
It keeps the heat/friction/pressure of the water of the prop blast from warping or eating the bottom of the boat near the prop. The bolts keep it flat against the bottom of the boat.

Used to be alot smaller, and not all boats had them.
My Hondo does not, and the bottom is all jacked up.

I whittled these up using a bandsaw, lathe and mill then had them powder coated.
