Default 1979 V20 Bow Railing Material

Can anyone confirm that Wellcraft built the older V20's with Stainless Bow Rails ?
.
Brochure I've seen states that the Rails were Stainless, BUT mine appear to be Aluminum, with Zamak Rail Fittings. Just like the Cockpit Railings.

All my Rail Fittings and Cleats are the crappy Zamak, and are ALL pitted Badly.

Only thing Stainless on the boat is the Steering Wheel, and the Bow and Stern Eyes, and the Lift Eye on the Bow Deck.

ALL Looks Original !!

Was this common back then ?

Thanks, Charlie

Default Bow Rails

Too Bad your in SC. Very long drive from NJ.
Too big to ship, and $$.

Is yours welded, or does it has separate fittings ?

Damn. I left a welded one behind when we moved several years ago. I know I have a 2 piece one out in back of my house, but I'm not sure of the material. I think it's Stainless but have to check. I'll post here tomorrow if anyone's interested.
