Hi everyone! I bought a 13' whaler exactly one year ago today. I got a new engine, and restored all of the wood. I am now looking for a bow rail. if anyone has one that they're looking to get rid of, please comment on this post. Thanks!!!

If you have the means and ability, I say make the rail. I am always fan of personalized fabrications as long as it's cost effective, looks good and is of good craftsmanship or better than what can be purchased.
I can appreciate that someone has a business and they try to make a dollar from that business, however, far to often the dollar we the consumers have spent does not represent the R&D or product that has been purchased. So I say fabricate when feasible.

Have you considered Specialty Marine's bow and side rails?

Not sure you could have a fabricator beat the price for both sets.
