Wrap Around Rail - Classic 13' Boston Whaler (OEM Style) For 1979-1999 Hulls

Good looking safety add for my young kids

This fit our 1968 13’ Boston Whaler hull really well with only minor adjustments. Two suggestions: 1) Hole alignment with the vertical posts and stanchions was slightly off. Two of the bolts became galled as a result. I attempted to enlarge the holes to improve alignment with limited success. 2) The two forward stanchions landed on the side shelf with too much of a sharp corner hanging over the edge. This is where the boat tapers and these shelves diminish to nothing. I chose to ground these corners round to eliminate the impact. You may want to suggest that for others that use this system on older Whalers. Or, clip the corners before shipping them to those customers. I can send a close-up, if needed.

Specialty Marine is great and super helpful. They get a 5 star as always for their responsive and helpfulness. However the front leg was designed incorrectly. The base has no where to sit with the stanchion mounted. It’s a miss for such a great product and a beautiful addition to the boat. I love it. Just wished it was better designed.
