03 Rinker FV270 Bow Railing....

I recently purchased an 03 SV270.  The very tip of the Bow Railing was damaged in a storm and bent that piece really bad and broke the search light.  I have searched the ends of the internet for a replacement piece and can not find one anywhere.  Does anyone know where I can find one or know how I can possibly make my own?  It doesn't seem like it would be too hard, but if I can find one, I'd rather just purchase it.

I think Great Lakes skipper has a whole railing if you want that

You might be able to get a fab shop to bend one for you. Need to track down the material. I'm sure someone on here will know what it is.

Handymans342, want to bendme one too? I'll pay you....

I had a local shop bend mine but he used the old rail to match. My advice is to find a local welder that can weld on the boat. Post some pics

I also bought all the polishing wheels to fit my 4.5 inch grinder

That sounds good. Also, since my entire light assembly is now at the bottom of the lake, so I just need a replacement light or is there / was there a base that made the light move? Or was that all enclosed in the search light? I'm a horrible owner, I know. I never paid that close attention to the light I barely used.

@roksoldier1 it's all in the light. A lot of the guys have replaced the old bullet type with these..
