I have a 1985 Hunter 23 and am looking for a replacement for the bow rail. The welds have popped where the nav lights attach and on the right side where the rail attaches to the hull. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please email:

I know you've already given this some thought, but why not re-weld the old one and have the other welds inspected by the welder? BrianW

Find a welder near you and sure it will be cheaper
to weld it than replace with newer one.
Yes stainless welding is not cheap but making new
one will not be cheap.

Rail Repair

Brian has a valid point. Your area should have a reputable rail shop, just as ours does. I took my hit and run damaged stern rail to them and they cut out the damaged piece and replaced it with new. My eye could not tell where they had made the cut and welded on the new piece. Just like new. Saved a bunch of $ versus all new.
