Rodney, I do wood work for boats and have done this type of replacement work before, most recently a C & C 26. I would be glad to work with you on this if you are interested. I assume from the name of the boat that you are in Texas. What part. I am near Tyler. As has already been said, I would have to have the pieces in hand to match. You might be able to find prefabricated hand rails that would work but the other parts will definitely have to be custom made. Let me know.
