I bent/prepped (which I had professionally welded) modifications for the rails on my 1979 22' Revenge. Used 316 1" polished stainless. Unless you have a template for the shop....a very tedious project. For a bolt on factory original at $1000 not an unreasonable amount. I remember standing away from my boat and making various adjustments for "reveals" on the boat lines as well as making the starboard and portside rails parallel (or close to). Even if you get a factory set up adjusting the bases a 1/2" one direction or the other could change the look immensely. "Dry" fit before mounting/drilling.

Congrats on your purchase.
