Like Kirk said, the message board at http://www.Retrocrestliner.com is a good place for your question. I have three Old Crestliner Aluminum boats and, assuming you are talking about the aluminum on the deck edge just above the dashboard wood, That was formed on the edge with special tooling at the factory and, to the best of my knowledge is not replaceable unless you are a skilled metalsmith with metal-forming tools to make them fromscratch. Now this edge is super-durable and I’ve never known one to need replacing. One of my boats has a deck someone made themselves and the edge is a silver-colored, flexible plastic channel material which is still available if you do a websearch, as it is marketed as a car door edge-protector to keep the vertical edge paint from chipping if you hit a pole, or something in our garage when opening the door. Below are a couple examples, in chrome and some other colors, including clear:
