Thanks guys. I've heard of Gulf Plating twice already so I'm sure to call them soon. These bases haven't been produced in many, many years and were the originals offered on bertram 31's. They're 4 feet long with 2 arms, look awesome in 25' and larger boats and work very well so they're worth a bit of money to restore them. I'll try buffing them a bit to see what happens but they'll visit the plating shop sooner or later. Even if I don't get to use them they're worth over $1,000 in good condition.
