I got one from the local Grady dealership. It came off a new boat! It seems that it was slightly dinged during delivery, and the new owner insisted that they replace it, so they sold me the "used" one at a substantial discount. ;) I had to look hard to even find the spot that it was bumped. Anyway, it's the very dark blue that GW uses, and we thought it looked really good with the paint we picked out.

I like the look of a new aluminum rail, but once it's dinged it's dinged, and there's nothing you can do about it. I do believe that the rubber does a better job protecting the boat. They are tough to install, from what I hear.
