CMI duplicates all Boston Whaler railings and fittings with stainless. I'm sure if you ship your stuff to them, they will duplicate it. Fred is a very nice guy and is located in Hingham, Mass. Good luck. zot.

Thanks for the tip I live about a half hour from Hingham so I could bring the parts to him.

Mike, any luck with CMI? Spoken to Fred yet? Interested to see what he can do for SeaCraft refinishing/duplicating. Thanks, Mike.

Mike I talked to Fred last Saturday and as you said he"s seems to be a nice guy.I asked him about the connecting parts for the bow rail and he thought about 12 dollars a fitting and that he was sure they were a stock item.He is located in the Quincy Shipyard.The pieces would be stainless.
Thanks again Mike

I just got a quote to replace my low profile grab rail that goes around the whole front of my 23 CC with aluminum. I got a quote for $975.00 to just do the bow rail. I thought that was pretty high and because the guy is going to do some repair work on my T-Top he suggested since the rail really isn’t damaged just old looking that I could just have it Powder Coated and put back onto the boat even though the rail is approx 30 years old.

Question: has anyone powder coated their rails like this and if so how did they come out???

Actually, he's a few miles down the road in the Hingham shipyard where Hewitt's Cove Marina is.

Fellowship,
I had my handrail and leaning post powder coated in a metalic silver with a gloss clear coat. The leaning post came out great, the handrail so so. They could have done a better job on it. If you know someone who does it well, I would have it done. For both pieces and some other things it cost me $500, which I thought was a little high. You can probably get a better price.-PF

Thanks PF for the info. When I got the quote for the bow rail at close to a grand I thought that was pritty high. I really don't mind spending $$ on the Boat but that seems High to me.

Scott thanks for the correction of towns.Coming from Bridgewater I get the two confused, the two towns are so close.I will probably stop by CMI next week so if anyone has any questions for Fred I can ask him why I am there.

Ha Scott
Wow I Like That Powder Coating Job Thanks for Posting the Pictures. When I did my boat I ran out of time and just put the old bow rail back on the boat and started using her. I thought about replacing the rail on several occasions but like most jobs on my boat I preferred doing the work myself so I figured I would buy Stainless materials and do it so off to West Marine to buy the stuff but stopped there because of how difficult I thought it would be to make those almost 90 degree bends close to the bow with out a proper hydraulic bending machine changing my mind there at the store. When my T-top got a crack in one of the 4 major supports 2 weeks ago while I was down in the Keys I said will since the boat will be in the shop anyway for the t-top now’s a good time to have someone else do both projects but $975 just for the Rail seams high I know you can buy the materials for approx $450 but those 90 degree turn still had me concerned. I got a good shop in mind that does powder coating so I will drop off the rails to them and keep the original look.
