hi guys -- I'm MIke ,AKA Hockeyfool, and I appreciate all that already I have benefited from this great association.
Now, I am here again in hopes of getting good advice on more repair purchases, and the right product choice/source;
rubrail ! what do you guys think is best for my 81' old version ? mine is splitting apart , and not holding over the desk/hull seam very well.(http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m483/Ypsi-Compac/DSCN1893.jpg)
I think this rub rail is a common product found in the West Marine catalog. Mine is held on to the hull and deck seam by the factory installed double sided sticky tape.
skip.
I was talking to Rich Hutchins at the St. Pete boat show about this and he mentioned there is a new plastic rubrail that he recomended. I would call the factory and ask for pricing on this.
I agree with Billy, check with Hutchins. Go on their site and look at the 23/IV picture gallery to see what it looks like. It's PVC with a stainless steel striker plate, tough and looks good. The Hutchins option may come pre cut for the 23 which would make installation easier.
