Source for Bow Rail

[RMB421]

I am looking for a bow rail for my Outrage 19. I think the rail is the same as the Outrage 18.

What is a source for a replacement bow rail for an OUTRAGE 19?

What is the model year of your OUTRAGE 19?

I am looking for a bow rail for my Outrage 19. I think the rail is the same as the Outrage 18.

Older Boston Whaler boats often used bow railings with the stanchions attached to the rail by fittings. A railing for a c.1990's 19 OUTRAGE II would use an all-welded bow railing. An older OUTRAGE 19 is not at all similar to a classic OUTRAGE 18.

My boat is a 1990 model. Which, from everything I have ever seen and read, is the EXACT same boat as the 1980s model Outrage 18 (they just changed the 18 to 19 to better comport with naming convention across all BW models at the time). The rail on the 1990 model was indeed all welded and I would prefer that type of rail, but I assume that the pre-1988 versions would fit, as well.

I think the Outrage 19-II was a very different boat and came out in 92 or 93. That is NOT what I have.

Thanks!

Thanks to the many corporate owners of Boston Whaler over the years, there are several "versions" of the Outrage 19, hence the question and the confusion.

As shown in the reference article, http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/specifications.html there is the:

Outrage 19 (also referred to as the 19 Outrage)- produced from 1973-1978
Outrage 19 (Outrage 18 renamed) - produced from 1990 - 1991
Outrage 19 (referred to as 19 II or III depending on your methodology) produced from 1992-1996

Each are very different from the other.

If you are in the Northeast, you can get a set of OEM rails made by CMI, the original vendor, located in Weymouth, MA. They are phone centric so give them a call. https://www.cmimarineproducts.com
