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.

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.
