Ronbo,
I’m just curious how much the wrap around rails are worth. I have an original set that came with my 1973 Sport and am not sure whether I will ever use them or not. I did the hull restoration last summer but did not finish the interior restoration until late fall so I haven’t had the boat in the water yet. I’m thinking the wrap around rails will block access to the transom. I don’t have power tilt and trim. I’m sure they add some comfort but I don’t know how the access issue will play out.
Thanks,
Bob L.

Hi Bob,
Fred quoted me $685.00. That's with all the hardware. No wood. You are right. The back rest does limit access to the transom. The only reason I want another set is for rod holders for trolling. If you are interested in getting rid of them, please let me know. I might be interested. I just can't fork out $700.00 right now. I'm kicking myself for getting rid of those things.
Good luck with the boat.
