Hi Terry,

I have seen some pics of boats with the balls on the ends and I agree, it does spoil the look of the boat. A clown nose on my nice sleek boat goes against the grain a bit.

Some fiberglass boats seem to have reasonably rounded ends on them and manage to look alright.

I am glad to hear of your lack of impalings, this gives me hope. I suppose that it will be a little less formidable once I have rounded everything off before fiberglassing.

Nick.
