Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

Hello all (and especially John B..LOL) -

I'm trying to dress up the old girl '75 20CC, and want to replace the trim piece that runs along the bottom/interior side of the rail cap.

John B - in the pics of your restore job, it looked as if you'd put in a new piece of trim (black).

Question is: Where can I find this stuff?

Thanks again guys... this site has been a great help and reference for me!

I looked at Taco, but wasn't sure if it was the right material or not... liked the way John B's looked and thought I might get pointed in the right direction.

Question 2:
I see that a lot of you guys have Rhino Lined the interior section of the gunnel that was once covered in carpet.... can you give me a ballpark price on this job?

Re: Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

Honey Hole,
I used a local boat Manufacture for the inner gunnel trim peice came out great ,Its got a small lip that fits right up to the bottom No Mistakes.Comes in 20' lengths 1 peice each side.I made a JIG that will butt up to the last screw & positions the next one for the uniform look.I'm going over to the shop later today & will post the price.

(Threw the shot glass out the window, drawing straight from the bottle) $2,000.00?!? Yikes!

I might tow the old girl over to Line-X or Rhino and get a quote... thanks for the heads up, I'll take my bottle with me!

I sure appreciate you checking into the trim for me Cappy.

Re: Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

I've gel coated the inside of mine after cleaning it up and fairing out the woven roven. That will cost about $30.00 and some a little bit of hard work. For the trim, I'll be using a "U" shaped channel.

Re: Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

EBEACH - is the u-channel deep enough to cover the screw holes from the previous trim? ... and is this something I can find in a local auto parts store?

Re: Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

Not sure if it will cover your screw holes. Most marine stores sell the stuff. Auto Parts store? Maybe.

I was looking into the idea of finding enough people interested in the stuff, then order a roll from Trim-Lok. They have now a 500 ft minimum. [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

Guys,
Taco makes something similar and you can buy it 25ft to 100 foot rolls. Plus you can get it in white or black, and different widths.

JW Also stainless clip, no rusting

Re: Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

Honey Hole,

I advise you to drill out and fill all of those holes with thickened West or equal. I'm sure you have a few others while you're at it. Touch up with gelcoat and it's like they were never there.

I suggest the Taco u-channal as it has stainless steel clips. The stuff at the auto store is steel. How long do you think that would last?

Do it right the first time.

Re: Interior Trim Pieces - John B?
 

My buddy used the u-shape trim,seems like every time He got next to it (bumped),it would slide down,even put sealant on it .Maybe the constant 100* heat Here?I have some of the trim That I can send a peice to whoever want some.It covered all the holes & I heated it with a Heat gun ,went right around the corners even the front inside tight.
I put a screw every 4"s could probably go up to 6".I made a JIG, placed next to a screw then drilled a hole.Its 1 1/8 top to bottom,Has a lip on the bottom to follow the edge.Also has a bevel?rounded at the top to finish it off.
Comes in 20' lengths,1 piece.It took 2 peices 1 on each side to do My 20'r started in the bow middle.I got 3 for around the inst.panel & under storage console,also variuos other trim pieces. e-mail Me for the a sample piece,I'll drop it in the mail.
