Personally, I would go with a local fabricator after serious due diligence. Expect to pay 2-3K without options. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I noticed you responded to another member regarding the rear grab rails for a 1996 Outrage, the t-top looked really nice on that boat, did you have any information as to who may have built it ? Thank you
