[QUOTE="Allen, post: 176289, member: 389"] gun·nel [ˈɡənl] NOUN [B]gunnels[/B] (plural noun) [LIST] [*]an elongated laterally compressed fish with a dorsal fin that runs along most of the back and reduced or absent pelvic fins. It occurs in cool inshore waters of the northern hemisphere. [/LIST] gun·wale [ˈɡənl] NOUN [B]gunwales[/B] (plural noun) [LIST] [*]the upper edge of the side of a boat or ship. [/LIST] Personally, I've never tried a gunnel. I am on the fence with the wide or narrow gunwales, current Lund has pretty wide ones to offer storage under them. I have looked at the Impacts and am not sure I'd like the narrower gunwale. I need something to set my Leatherman down on that gives it a chance to go into the deep blue. What can I say, I like living on the edge. And while I have never seen a warden give a ticket for someone riding on a gunwale, I have heard it's illegal. I suppose it's to prevent people from falling overboard when a drunk driver takes a radical turn at speed. If the law was written any other way it would be tough to enforce. e.g. Can't ride on a gunwale when boat is going greater than 5 mph as it would require a warden to carry a radar gun to determine speed.
