I know (and it will be supported by others here) that I am NOT the sharpest stick in the bundle - But why do I need to weld track to a perforated toe rail on a sailboat? If I am to add track it will be inboard of the rail. Note the spacing of the 'perf's' on the rail - they are setup for attachment points for any number of things. If you like track, great, but they are not needed on the aluminum railed Montgomery's I have seen. GO. LB/GF! M-17 # 316a 'that ain't bad gelcoat -it's "patina"! Team Geezer Racing.....Old and in the Way Arizona Sailing Squadron PS I am a racer-type and adjust my leads freq. when racing. I also use barberhauls, and those little holes also serve as spiffy fender attach points if needed. Keep It Simple and multi-purposed. In a message dated 7/2/2008 12:54:28 P.M.

Very nice job. A worthy and useful upgrade for any Mboat with a metal toe rail... t _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats **************Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!
