I too bought an '81 from Stan.  I believe that my mine was the first that he used stainless on.  The handrails were also SS.  I would agree that the SS was a leap forward in terms of quality.  Our '03 has the stern rail with the cut out for the ladder and the bends to accommodate the captain's chairs.  This setup works very well.  Although I loved the '81, Stan has certainly made many improvements.  I continue to have the utmost respect for both Stan and Rose.

 Rummy,
 
 My '81, manufactured in
 the Amityville plant and purchased from Stan
 directly, had aluminum rails.  They were
 pop-riveted together and always
 left a gray
 stain on clothing that was dried on the rail unless I wiped
 them
 down constantly to remove the oxide.
 They were a poor choice compared to the
 stainless on my 1991 Rhodes.

 I can't imagine stern rails made from
 aluminum and not stainless. This must
 have
 been a retrofit by a very cheap owner at one time. The newer
 factory
 version of the stern rail has a
 section that allows for easy access to the
 stern  ladder. I like to sit on the gunnels,
 in fact I spend most of my time
 up there 
 unless I'm massively healing and need a toe hold in the
 opposing
 seat. I often  lean back against
 the rail for support, but I can also
 imagine
 sailing without  them. I say go for it and let us know what
 you
 think. 
 I finished
 removing the side ports on RumRunner this week and found an
 easy
 way to remove and clean them if anyone
 is interested. I have to clean the
 hull 
 surfaces and then I will be reinstalling them with (white)
 NP1. One of
 the  ports I removed had been
 rebedded about twenty years ago with NP1 and
 it was  extremely hard to cut loose. With a
 good install I'm guessing they
 will last
 the  life of the boat and never need to be removed and
 rebedded
 again.
 I'm
 looking for an opening front port in good to excellent
 condition if
 anyone has a spare they would
 part with. I broke the hinge on one of mine. 
  
 Rummy
