Wefco seems to make the right part, I am happy that my boat survived the storm without the "sharkmouth" in the bow like some of my dock mates, although replacing this rub rail may be a bit of a pain. It was an exciting day in the marina! A half a dozen docks snapped off and sank, My dock was one of the ones they got to in time and chained down to keep it in place. The water was up over a foot above the already high water levels, plus 45 knot winds, and with a 25' sea coming in off the lake we had a swell in the marina running perpendicular to both the docks and the prevailing winds. I lost one fender, detonated two more and snapped three lines, but I was there to keep replacing lines and "borrowed" a truck tire one of the power-boaters had gotten wrapped around his prop to drop in as a fender for the day!

The first picture is my neighbors unfortunate Cheoy Lee offshore-31, the second is some of the docks post storm, the third is my boat (one of the two tires I tossed between the boat and the dock is visible) showing my lack of a rub rail!
HOLLY SMOKES!! ...So sorry to see the damages that have occurred! The boat "Dan" speaks of is a '78 Ericson 32 - II. The starboard rub rail is intact but the port side does have some damage about mid-ship. Not sure what size your Ericson is but hopefully this will help you.
I'm amazed there were 25' seas with 45mph winds being Minnesota is on the Western edge of Lake Superior and I always thought that was the windward shore and less rough with typical NW Autumn gales and storms. (I'm assuming you are on Lake Superior for those kinds of "seas".
The wind was straight out of the ENE, so perfectly aligned to raise as much havoc as possible! I found a good picture of the lake that day! To say it was not safe would be an understatement.
