BigLew- The spray rails are teak and as far as I can tell original equipment. I must say they work very well. If you would like I can measure them and send you a profile. They are consistent in dimension their full length and rounded on either end. Just walked out to the boat and measured them, They are 1 1/2 inches wide and 1 inch thick flat stock- screwed or bolted on the outboard edge and plugged with 1/2 teak plugs. There is no place in the boat where I can see if it is a screw or bolt. I would hope it is a bolt but if not they have lasted very well. This may be a much cheaper solution. The rail starts 42" from stern and runs all the way to the bow. I did put a 3/8 radius on the outboard top edge before painting. You could probably benefit by steaming the stock before bending in place or on a mold but I have never steamed teak only oak and mahog. I wonder if the new PVC white house trim would work? Tough to glue. Thank you for the compliment on the boat.

Michael,

Thanks for the offer, but I have a 23' Scepter and I am a while away from the point of putting spray rails on.

I've been looking to redirect my consulting/contract business or look for a job since my lead consultant/partner is in the process of "changing directions." What we had been doing really requires the two of us to really make it work.
