Got the rails in - they look great - good workmanship and clean welds. Everything is well aligned and built the spec I sent in.

note - my handrails were the exact dimensions as Joe's (whose boat the drawing came from), but my holes were drilled a bit off - up to 1/2 inch. I think they make all the rails the same, but drill them out w/o using a template. The holes in my rails were not centered.

Bottom line: order from these guys, but correct the drawing after measuring for your individual screw hole location.

Here are some pictures: one of my yet-to-be mounted rails, and one of Joe's installed.
