I will try and post a pic a little later. It does seem to look like the shoe box example that was brought up.
I have not removed the rub rail yet to take a look since the boat is in the shop getting a lot of motor work done. But once i get it back its first on my list.
The Starboard strip sounds like thats the way to go. Is there any fiberglass or gelcoat to repair under the rub rail?
Thanks for all the input and keep it coming

Great...so sounds like the cap/hull separation...mine did not require any glass work...you'll have to determine on yours...treated wood CAN be used, but Starboard really grabs all the screws you'll use and doesn't let go...you'll want to use a flat-head screw and countersink each hole so you don't have screw heads holding the rub rail off when you put it back...when I did mine, I had separated about 80% of the cap from just ahead of the transom on one side, all the way around to the same point on the other side...used a couple of jacks on the inside and held it all up w/2x4 legs...that exposed the top edge of the hull...made easy to install the S'board...mark where you put screws for that so you avoid when re-joining cap AND replacing rub rail...putting it all back, I had 3 drill motors going; pilot through the glass and into the S'board, little larger for clearance THRU the glass and a phillips head to run the screw in...check yours all around, but it doesn't sound as extensive as mine was...once it was back together, was solid as a rock and watertight as a new mason jar...lol...
