I wish I could use the railing, but I dont' wish it that bad to have
it fixed, that is unless anyone has any suggestions.
If you know someone good at welding stainless steel they can probably
make it good as new.
It might be worth taking it to them at least for a ball park quote.

Tim, might check a local vo tec school that teaches welding or high school
shop class.
Probably get it done for a donation of wire or whatever else that they are
short.
Thats a cool idea, but the best Jr. that has a good welding and
machine class is about 60 mi. away. But I know the dude that teaches
the class.
Now that's an idea!

Hope it works out, win- win for all. You get your rail fixed and the class
gets needed supplies.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, I'll see what they can do. The instructor of the shp class will
know, and soon when the weather breaks and i can get it out to work on
it, I'll take some pics of it and send it to him and see what he says.
This bow is a bit wide to transport as a whole, but I think it can be
broked down at the pulpit joint and then take them both halves.
If it seems like it would be too much of a job or wil take quite a
while, I'll cleat the boat and donate the other materials to the shop
class. It's not that I need it, but it would look better on there, I
imagine. But then again, I dont'have it off yet to see.
But thanks for the ideas.
