Source for wood rail and corner piece

[Heusdecw]

Anyone know of a source for the wood rail corner piece for an old Hatteras 41TC? I need to replace one section of the wood rail including one corner that was lost in Ian.

I've already checked with Sam's and no luck.

Railings aren't really something a parts supplier like Sam's would stock. The carpentry shop at any full-service marina does those all the time, that's where you get them. Be prepared to sand and stain the entire railing or it won't match though, I've been through that.

Yeah, I figured I'll be sanding a bunch. Hoping to find a metal corner to match though. Else I guess I'll just have the metal corners on the one that's still complete and convert to all wood on the lower rail. I was able to get the metal door/hinge pieces from Sam's a year or so back.

Can you attach a photo of the corner that you’re looking for?

I guess it would have helped to include a picture. Thanks for reminding me.

Thats the same piece used on the 41 Double Cabin Motor Yacht. Probably the 38 too. Good luck.

Thanks. Thought I had a line on one....but turned out to be a rip off. New user on the board....got me for $125. Starting to talk to fabricators now.

My Dad passed away so I have been cleaning out his garage/warehouse. I ran across the corner pieces and rail that you need. I put some Ospho on it to see how well it would clean up. It would need to be re-plated. I don’t know how much wood railing that you need but there’s about 5-6’ of wood railing on either side of the corner piece. If you still need it send me your contact info and I’ll send you some pictures. I’ll even throw in a hull if you need a spare.

Hi Dsharp. Yes, definitely interested. Reach me at heusdecw@gmail.com.

I have some mahogany railing on the way from a stair company, but not sure if it'll match. I was able to patch some sections together so I think 5-6' would work splendidly!

Thanks!

Someone I won't mention private messaged me with an email to contact joeschmoe@....he has the part.

Wrote said joe and he said yes...he has the part. We agreed on a price based on some other parts I'd bought from Sam's - including $25 for shipping and he gave me his son's Paypal. Said when I sent him proof payment he'd ship the part that day. When I got to the boat two weeks later....no part. I emailed him and he did respond once.....probably a delay due to Ian effects. Waited a couple of more weeks and still nothing. Ignored any requests for tracking info. Wrote to the "son's" Paypal and claims that account was closed a year ago (though it still took the payment).

I've written it off. Take away is beware of new members who magically have what you need even though they have no history on the board.

I only go out to the warehouse on weekends. I’ll take some pictures Saturday and email them to you. How many of the metal pieces do you need? Where are you located? I’m about 45 miles south of Houston. Duh! I read the first post as to location.

Did you report this to the administrator so his account could be blocked.

Thanks. I only need one corner piece on the port side lower rail (I believe they are all the same). Was able to find the rest.

Thanks again!

I did not. I'll try and figure out how to do that now....update - done.

Tried....but paid as "friends and family" so say I have no recourse. Hopefully they noted it though.

Oh Sheet,
Sorry about that.

Please PM me with the information on the scammer so I can throw them off the forum and block them.
