Which one of the vendors has the best?
It's such a complex shape there can't be that many suppliers.
Seems to me all (at least on my 31) the aprons have the same design flaw:
The bottom outside edges of the S/As have small curved gutters that ride underneath the inboard edge of the running boards. Dispite a number of drain/weep holes, those 'gutters' are inevitably going to be nothing but tiny rust farms...
Finding a solid original set seems unlikely.
Since my body specialist doesn't have greedy bone in his body, he told me he could fix mine, but I'd be way better off putting my money elsewhere...
I'm going to take a hit on shipping, but....
Thanks in advance for any input/advice.
