Has anyone upgraded or gotten rid of their original stanchions and have them lying around the garage? I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to brand new "gated" stanchions and thinking about getting an "add-on" gate.
Here's a pic of mine. They are 24" tall and have a welded loop at the top. I'm assuming they are original.
how many do you need? there are some consignment shops I know of who sometimes have a ship-set or two on hand.

Oops, I thought I put that in there. That would be two. (2)
Thanks for the links, Bill. I'll check them out tonight. Heck, maybe they'll have one of your split pushpits and a couple of gated stanchions too! :D
actually Newport Nautical has something very like my split stern rail. They are new parts that appear to have been left-over from an unfinished boat. one side includes a fitting to hang a life ring. it looks like the following:
Thanks Bill! I'll call them tomorrow AM and check on prices etc. (I sent you a PM)
