Grab Rails? Bow Rails? Where To Get them?
On a lot of the new boats they will have the "center" bar running the length of the bow it looks like one giant grab rail, i want to install 2 on the front of my boat and was wondering if this is a custom thing or can you buy them whole somewhere? Oh ya and i have no idea what they are called...if you could help..Thanks -Mike

I'm sure these guys could make you what you need. They made a custom bezel for me.

I do have 2 long straight rails that are about 9 ft long that are powdercoated purple that I would sell, but shipping would be very expensive. Where are you located????

Mine were the original rails that were used as grab rails down the sides of the fairing on my 32 AT. I looked and they are actually closer to 10 feet long. They are just like what is on the sides of the older Sonics. They could be shortened by a good welder or they could easily be cut and capped on one end. The only thing is that they use 4 mounting bolts at each brace location that would be visible from the top. $100 for both of them.
