Hull Joint Rub Rail

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Thanks for the information regarding the rail.  Do you know, or have you looked to see what the joint flange actually looks like under the rail.  How far does it protrude from the hull and how thick are the two pieces flanged together?  I found several mouldings from Wefco Rubber Mfg Co. that might be suitable, but can't tell for sure without knowing configuration of joint.

	The rub rail on Andiamo! is ugly as well. I checked everywhere for the exact replacement, but found nothing. However, Hamilton Marine in Bath, Maine has a suitable replacement rail. http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/browse.cfm/4,8742.html

	I just purchased hull 166, Voila, and am working on making her the boat I want. The rub rail at the hull/deck joint looks awful, worsened by a previous owner with a caulking gun. I note the rub rail fails to meet the hull by about 3/8" on the top which is what he tried to fill and the rail itself is old, oxidized and ugly. Is there a replacement for these?
