I would like to fix this missing piece.
Any ideas? It is a little dangerous crawling in the bow.

It is a 1968 Starcraft TR-17.
There was originally, I believe, an aluminum piece about 8-10 inches long that was fixed over the joint. I did see one from a 72' that I tried to buy parts off of, but the owner wanted the whole boat gone. I know I am missing some rub rail.

Yes, that is what I need. The one I looked at looks more like John's than DelRay's? DelRay's is just too shiny.

If anyone sees one in their travels, buy it, I will gladly pay for it and shipping and time. There are no boat junkyards around here.
Wefco seems to have the rubrail.
I may replace it all if it is not too costly.
