Cheaper and stronger would be to use 3/8'' rebar. You can
paint it 'instant chrome' and nobody will know the
difference.

I've been tempted to use the stainless steel bathroom
handrails on my
cabintop. They are those handrails you see in Lowes or
Home Depot,
pretty sturdy bent tubing with only two welds. How will
they stand up
in a marine environment? They definitely long strong
enough and mount
over a wide area. I just think the boat store handrails
are
outrageously expensive and the bathroom ones a much less
expensive and
even look better.
