I recently picked up a 14ft Blue Star Aluminum boat that I'm going to fix up...
I believe the boat is 1950-1960's
I'm hoping maybe someone can point me in a direction to find an aluminum Port-Side Corner Cap?
As you can see, this one has a nice homemade piece that I'd like to replace.
😀

Due to the age of the boat, I'm not sure where to look, outside of eBay and Marketplace
Thanks.

To 3D print that out of AlSi10Mg would require a good 3D scan or CAD model, and about $500

if restoring for function, make one otherwise keep looking at it may never happen but at least you can enjoy the hunt.

there are generic semi-tailored fabricated corner caps that are about $60 per side out there. they take some hammer and dolly work on some boats to get to fit, but that is an alternative.

since blue star went away over 6 decades ago, the chance of finding a corner cap is less likely than finding an honest politician.
