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

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.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, the one I have is SS steel. It's NOT welded and the fittings that mount it to the deck are zmack, or whatever that crappy chrome plated "metal" is. The rail parts are free to whoever wants it.

For stainless rail fittings (and a bunch of other marine stainless), if you’re willing to risk the occasional not perfect match of identical fittings, marinepartdepot.com has provided me with quite a few nice fittings at VERY good prices. They used to be always on sale “Today”, but today never ends. I replaced all of my lousy plated/corroded fittings with their stuff.
