On my Gulfstar 36 there is a teak toe rail. The port side rail is

Its important to support your local economy!

Anyone have any sources for aluminum or plastic toe rails?


As soon as I get some settled weather I'll be replacing my teak with
Al. I started with the usual research/web search. I've descided to
have a local metal fab business make some custom toe rail. DOnt for
get the metal fab guys. I'm going with some 3/8" angle stock. Then I
can mount the "fence stantions" to the toe rale and not hav e to drill
more leaks into my deck.
Just a thought.
