I'm looking for an original takeoff (yea right) or some help with the parts it would take to put one together.

are you talking about the big center bow rail?

Nmbr1GMfan

Yes, I believe they are 60 degree angled rearward stantions with the stainless cable.

Jo has been helping me find some answers to originality questions I have about my boat for the last few days (very helpful). He does not have any of these parts.

what the purpose of lifeline? I see them on a lot of vintage boats but never knew what they where for

Im no expert by any means but I was told they were there for the occupants to hold onto untill help arrived in a racing crash scenario.

The lifeline was missing on my boat when I got it. I remade it and got all the materials from:

The only thing that I couldn't find that was "original" were the stanchion top caps where the cable feeds through. Other than that, all the holes on the mounts lined up perfectly.

Here's a pic of how it turned out. As I recall it cost in the neighborhood of $250 2 years ago. From your picture it looks like you have three stanchions so you'll be a little more. Good luck.

What a stunning looking boat , the lines are just perfect. The lifeline is to hang on to ,as most boats when they go over will float bow up , very hard to hang on to the body of a slippery wet boat .
