    Default Where do you buy (find) safety rails for boats?


    I looked and I can't find anything but small handles. The ones I saw looked more like cleats than hand rails. I (me and Honey) want something to grab when the boat starts rocking when the skiers plow by us.

    Thanks,

    Try the hand rails for your home. They are chrome and come in various sizes. They are heavy duty too. They should work fine

    Stay with the stainless steel line of rails, never any sharp pitted areas & yes cost a little more but not that much. Don't want the mrs. afraid to use rails for fear of cutting hand. Know any good SS welder to modify store bought to fit U boat or a small aluminum boat maker. Saw a clarke brand boat from Iowa last week liked like a super wide jon style with 2 seats abread in front & 2 more in middle with fold down windshields 150 4stroke merc anywho they had rails bout 5 inches on top of sides front & back & very front rails were peaked bout 8 inches in front with opening for troll motor.
