These are them close up. They dont have pins or anything like a bimini mount. I have the bimini mounts as well. Im stumped!

Are they brackets for holding a folded VHF antenna? They don't look like anything stock, I'd be inclined just to remove them.

10-4 I would remove them if not stock.

Theres a set on both port and starboard..i dont think there would be two antennas. I could be wrong though

My Nassau was as stock as the day she came out of the factory. It didn't have anything like that.

I'd take them off.

Wow that is one old Rude you have there, mid to late 50's?

No idea on the pot metal hardware and I can't imagine what it would be used for.

Maybe the clips are for a ladder that hung off the side. Doesn't appear that there are pins for something to be locked in or pivot on.

The motor is a 1967 lark IX selectric shift. Electric choke, start and shift. Purs like a kitten
