Step, where are you at?
Reason I ask is I have a rail sitting in my yard I offered to guys before, it's still here. Off a 86 V Cuddy.
Too big to ship obviously, so its pick up only.

Steplift20, I have a 78 also, and my bow rail is off an 86 (I think.. Rob do you remember?) Anyways, the rail fit perfectly. You may have to bend it a triffle, but I'm talking more like a push to get in into the right position as you sock home the bolts. You should have no problems with it. :head:

Yup, definitely off of an 86

Thanks RW... couldn't remember if it was an 84 or an 86. My mind is quickly turning to mush... I think it's called being a parent. :head:
