Hey Kracker, are there any boat builders in your area, lots of times we pick up end cuts from boat manufactures down here, considering the new boat market is in the crapper, they will probably sell you the length of rub rail you need, especially if its old stock.

Full blown boat builders? not to my knowledge. But there is a ton of Repair shops. I have gone that route with repair shops around here but they just order the minimal for the job at hand.

Well smoke I guess opions fall on how deep your pockets are. In my personal shallow pocket opion those prices are ridiculous. Looking for used and functional. My v is not gonna be in any contests for the prettiest boat.

I would imagine rub rail is one of those items that are hard to find used. When I first looked in to rub rail I thought the prices were ridiculous too, I have now become content that when I change mine it will cost me $150-$200.

Oh I'm certainly not pointing any fingers.. You could easily spend $500 or more on a rubrail if you didn't know where to shop.... I'm building mine on the "stupid cheap" budget plan.

congrats on your find btw
