This arrived Monday and has been sitting in my office. I finally brought it home last night. After work today, I just had to see how it would look - plus, I wanted to make sure the measurements weren't off.

After doing some checking around, I finally decided on Tops in Quality. Nobody could match or come close to their price, and a number of others have recommended them as well. (I'll be happy to fill in the gory details if anyone wants them.)
I had them add an arch, which they did for an additional $25. Here's a snippet of an email to them:
I don't know that they actually read the emails, but when all was said and done, I'm pretty pleased.Additional considerations:
1. Please make it look as much like the attached picture of Sirocco as possible (i.e. slight arch/bend going up to AND over taff rail - following the lines of the transom)

How to say? An attention to detail that turns a plain guard rail into elegant, eye-pleasing sensation!
I see from your post that you wanted the rail to look like Sirocco's. I am now the very, very proud owner of Sirocco. Too bad neither one of my modeling ex-wives never looked as good as her LOL
Yes indeed, imitation is the highest form of flattery.Originally Posted by joe

Got the port side deck gutted and recored. Same process as before, yadda yadda yadda...
You can see where an expoxy plug was done under one of the stanchion bases. I didn't even take pictures post grinding, etc. I'm just ready to be done.
