But: I have been acquainted with him for years, and spoke with him a few weeks ago. I'm a Marine Surveyor in South Florida with a background in white glove boat service.

I'm planning and executing a 1986 23' refurb/ customization to replace a '78 Potter 18 custom that I've had for 12 years (my kids have become full size), and I am looking for a proper replacement for the knuckle cruncher stainless steel recessed rails. The old school cut extruded anodized aluminum rail brackets suite me just fine- my family had a '75 23 CC stern drive from '75- '81; and those rails worked much better.
