Title: Need help locating a company that can build a bow rail.
Post by: GT Jets on June 22, 2008, 07:42:57 PM: Just brought home a new POS, the custom bow rail is missing, anyone out there build them?

It will be on a '91 Carrera 20.5 Elite ;D

I had never had one before and was considering taking it off. When I asked Manny about it, he suggested I leave it on, and I'm glad I did--it does come in handy. I got the impression that they were just extras hanging up out of the way, so you might be able to get one and modify it cheaper than building new.

Manny and Vito, owners, got started laying up boats at Sanger in the 60s, are great guys, and do good fiberglass work. Might be worth it to give them a call, they would probably know if what they have would work for your carrera--Fiberglass Unlimited, (559) 299-8826. Might also have a suggestion on where to have one fabricated.

BTW we used to have a Fiberglass Unlimited here in San Jose, was owned by Jerry Kuata(sp) and he had a very talented guy named Manny running the shop, related?

Can the world really be that small?

I will give him a call over the next couple of days, Thank you very much!

I was trying to sell a toy hauler trailer (smaller one) to help finance this bad boy but the economy says "Bush must go home!".
