Good day everyone, I have a 26ft catamaran cruisers houseboat with rotted rails on the front deck. They are made of plywood sandwiched between vinyl panels, they are unsafe and heavy that is why I want to replace them. My thoughts are to fabricate new ones with square aluminum tubing similar to a pontoon boat witch should be strong light and maintenance free. I want opinions from houseboaters before I get started because there is alot of good ideas out there that will make my project that much better.
