Anyone know how much it cost just for the rails for a rail system for the boat house. I have the trailer(dolly) and winch. I just need the rails. i am just going to use this to keep the starcraft out of the water when not in use so it will be sitting in the lake and then in the fall just the dolly itself will come back up to the boathouse. the dolly is very heavy and well made with 4 steel rail wheels. Or should I just enlist a bunch of strong backed HS kids to tote it into the water. I can winch it back up in the fall. I was just curious to know what the rails cost.

Re: boat rails

Ayuh,.... lotsa ways to do it,... Yer rail wheels might limit ya to actual Rail,...

2" pipe works real good, 'n can be found as scrap,...

The wheels used on commercial linear gates fit's the 2" pipe nicely,...
Boat trailer wheels, without tires work good on pipe too,...

Do ya Weld, or is this gotta be bolt together,..??

Google for steel rail, or pipe,...
