Source for small section of aluminum rubrail?-gctid393246

[baylineguy]

OK, it was a windy day and I screwed up and hit a post on the marina dock with my 3587. My aluminum rubrail took the beating and about a 5" section of it is squished. Stopped by West Marine and they don't have the proper rail. It looks like Taco metals has it online but it only comes in 20' sections so it's hundreds of dollars and then there is a huge freight charge on top of that. All I want to do is cut out about an 18" section to replace the damaged part. The rest of it is still looking fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? The rubrail is all aluminum and is about 1 3/4" in height overall. I see what looks like the same profile on 32s at the marina so I think it is a pretty common profile for Bayliner motoryacht series.

Thanks, Cliff
