I'd like to go with something a little nicer than what you see on the typical Beachcraft or Piper." Try any autowrecker's yard, John; I'm sure you'll find something to taste, and probably in good condition. The interior type from an older Toyota should match. If you want soft-surface, try an American car. For the exterior, there are many from '50s & '60s vintage in chrome or stainless steel that are sleeker (less drag) but just as strong as the ones in your pictures. If you want new, check out a boating store: many boats--sail & power--have such grab handles. JHK
