Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Looking for Side Rail for a 2000 13' Sport

A tree came down over the winter and did a number on the side rail on my 2000 13' Sport.
I contacted Boston Whaler for a replacement and no lucks.
Anyone knows where to find either a used or new one?
Thank You!

If you take it to a good local fabricator they should be able to make it like new again. May require a new section to be welded in.

That's a welded rail. Not like mine which has fittings where the upper rail attaches to the deck. I can hide welds/seems inside the fitting. A weld will always show. Best you locate a fabricator and use as a template (might have to bring your boat) or find one made for your hull.

Being in CO apparently make it hard for you as I have several shops here that can easily duplicate/repair a SS railing like that polished and without any welds showing as that is a must in food service metal fabrication.
Any good metal shop could do that.
If you can't find anybody, find out shipping price to 49001 zip and I can find out for you or at least what is the diameter and overall length of the railing.
Send that info including pictures of bend and other side in a PM and I'll get a quote for you.

Agreed...good fabricator can weld and burnish out/ polish.... would never know it was repaired.
