Original hand rail on 23' Seacraft's

Does any one know of a source for replacement brackets for the hand rail? I got mine off and could reuse the brackets but would like to go to
stainless if available. I have the boat totaly apart now and next week the new stern goes in.
I did it from the inside, it was 75% rotten and I'm glad I did it. Took at least 100lbs of weight
out.Being that its an inboard I'm considering
one of the lighter core materials, any suggestions or good sources?

My own preference but I like what Chris Furnari did with his 23. I think he used a comany called "E-Tec Marine" E-tec Marine Web Site for the rail posts and had a new rail fabricated. Its not SS but Alum is lighter and not that hard to maintain as long as you stay on top of it.

The hand rail on my 2000 Seacraft is Anodized - very easy to maintain, looks great, etc. My only gripe is how easy it scratches. I walked on my gunnels with a pebble in my shoe tread and tore it all up. (not too bad but I can see it so it wears on me).
