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

labor and materials.

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.

I found some interesting material. My toe rail is 1.5" wide and 3.5"
tall. I found some "plastic lumber" that is dimensioned exactly that
and it comes in 8 foot lengths. for enough to do the entire boat it
is only $128 delivered to my door step. The stuff is made from
recycled milk jugs and is UV stabilized and you can get it in any
color you want including "Teak".

I am thinking about it.
