Is there one on the boat currently? If not, try going to top dealer ( somebody who makes Bimini tops/hard tops, etc) or call your local Grady or any boat dealer and ask who they might recommend to make bow rails?

As far as I know, finding an entire rail (used) is going to be very difficult. Google/eBay is probably going to be your best bet - consider yourself lucky if you find one! I'd also be searching for cheap Overnighters as "parts" boats - you might have better luck going that way.

For new... since it was made by Grady, as others mentioned, that is your source (or your local dealer).

Do you have any of the parts on the boat? If you're handy, you could piece it together. All of the parts are readily available. Or, do as mentioned and find a local shop. One that does canvas work should be able to do it.

Another thought... just make a rule - when on "Gramps' boat", no one is allowed on the bow when the boat is moving.

Call Grady White !!!! I rebuilt a 24 offshore several yrs ago and got numerous factory parts from them they are very helpful I'm sure they will cut you a piece of bow rail and send it to you. Phone: (252) 752-2111

If else fails give a local marine ttop or pipe welder a call. They can quote it and get some options for you.
