Well, it arrived on Monday and has been sitting in my office. It's been very hard to concentrate at work, too. I went and picked it up tonight just so I could have it here at home and test fit it ASAP.
For all the bitching (and justified, I might add), Tops In Quality nonetheless came through and did a really nice job. I sent them pictures of Sirocco, a beautifully restored Ariel on the forum, which I thought had an exceptional stern rail. It wasn't just square and boxy tubing like so many I've seen, but it had a nice curve to it that accented the transom and taff rail quite nicely.
I can't wait to see how it fits. The picture just doesn't do it justice.
Mmmmm, soooooo shiny!
