didn't yachtsman bill have someone make some molds for rails when he was doing the sub?

Any idea how much the fiberglass aft quarterfenders cost?

If I recall they were somewhere around 4K installed (I may be wrong, lot has happened in the last couple years) the originals were soaked to the point that when I bumped a piling, water would squirt out of them. The product Broadus Rose @ Lookout Window Frames makes is Coosa board with multiple layers of glass and is installed in the existing factory holes with stainless studs and epoxy. I think from a strength standpoint these are a much sturdier design over stock and spreads any bump impact load across a much greater area.

I'm pretty sure Tom Slane made those for Yachtsmanbill.

Right on the changeover from wood to glass. I replaced one rotten wood rail with a PVC temporary and got permanent ones from Tom. They are much sturdier. Holding up nicely.

I just got a quote from Lookout Boat Windows of $4030 for the stock 13' ones. Mine are 15', so I would need to add about $620 to the base fee, so total of $4650 for the parts, plus install.

Seems a bit high to me.

I need a pair too if anyone comes up with a better alternative. Maybe they would discount two or more sets.

I replaced my mahogany quarter rails with pvc extrusions from Barbour Plastics years ago. I did not paint them as they match the color of my hull almost perfectly. I think I used profile R1065 as it was the closest match to my rails. Larger Hats I assume the profile would be different/larger. Heres a link to there catalog: https://www.barbourmarine.com/docs/Barbour-catalog-2015-WEB.compressed.pdf And pic of my rails installed
