Anyone know where to find a curved bow rail?

I've got a 2005 Seafarer 22 here in Crystal River and want to add a pulpit and windlass before fall. Found a few pulpits online but no luck on the curved bow rail. Does anyone know where to track one down that fits?

Curved bow rail pulpits aren't exactly common for that seafarer, most aftermarket vendors stick to straight rails, shot in the dark, reach out to custom stainless shops in your area and get one fabricated to your specs

Martha here btw

Thanks for the feedback, Martha! Good to know I'm not just missing something obvious. I suspected a custom job might be the only route. Do you have any ballpark idea of what a custom stainless rail like that would cost to have made?

Yeah, that totally makes sense! Finding curved rails just sitting on a shelf is pretty rare. So, going for custom fabrication really seems like the way to go, even if it might hit the wallet a bit harder.

I've moved forward with contacting local fabricators for quotes to meet my fall deadline for the windlass project. When having a bow rail custom made, should I specifically request 316L grade stainless for use in saltwater?
