I am all for saving money, but you've got a beautiful boat. Spend the money to get the nice rubber gaskets. I've had them on mine for 6 years and they still look and work like the day I got them. They are fairly visible, so putting a cheap but effective alternative like rubber balls or duct tape isn't worth it.
