You have several options regarding side rails for your BW16 custom. You can repair your existing rails; You can buy brand new OE side rails from Boston Whaler; or you can buy a non-OE designed side rail set from Specialty.

You can buy stanchions and t-fittings to replace the old. Call Sue at Twin Cities for the OE parts; or Shaun at CMI Marine.

If you wanted brand new OE side rails, a set can be bought from Boston Whaler for $325.

The Specialty side rail set sells for $379. not including shipping. The t-fittings have allen head screws. You may search WC for previous discussion(s) of buyers of Specialty rails having difficulty assembling the product.

My choice would be to buy a set OE from Boston Whaler. Guaranteed fit and quality.

Avoid the hassle with silly, 3 page assembly instructions from Specialty.
