Where to find this?

[AllatoonaBayliner175]

I have a 1968 Chrysler Charger 183 and I need a part. Below is my boat and the starboard side of the part I need for the port side. I emailed around and the only person that responded told me it was called a corner sating. I thought it was a rubrail corner. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Oh man... those are super hard to find. I am in the same boat as you are - except I have port and not starboard.

There was a guy here on iboats (name presently escapes me) that was fabricating those - primarily for Starcraft metal boats. Someone may come along and point you in his direction.

You can also try ebay from time to time... I have found them under a search for "transom corner caps" See below:

MichaelP makes the Starcraft corner caps. Not sure if the fit is right.

Just a thought...This is in case you can't find a ready made replacement...
You could make it out of 1/4" thick aluminum angle...
One way is to cut a 45? bevel in two pieces to make the corner, or cut a notch on one side and V the inside of the other side, fold into a 90? corner, if not too objectionable, you could leave the exposed cuts...
Or take it to a local welder to weld it up, then just sand the corners/edges to match the other one...
Good luck!

That's not a bad idea. I took the starboard side off last night just to keep from losing another one and it would probably easy to make if I could find a U shaped piece of aluminum that I could cut a 45 into.
