Rub Rail

[strick]

Yesterday Tim Barber came over and helped me install the rub rail on my boat. I am eternally greatful for Tims help as there is no way I would have been able to get this done by myself. What a PIA to install. It was hard making the bends around the corners of transom and then the arch as well. However with the help of a few beers a lot of cursing and some pounding with a hammer we were able to complete the job. This job gets a high difficulty rating on Fellowships law. Of course it would have helped if we knew what the heck we were doing [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Thanks again Tim and let me know when you are ready to put in that floor of yours.

Strick - glad to help out.

I'm still amazed at how well fellowship's rule works.

Need to install a Rub Rail => add beer.

Need to figure out how to make a complex bend with the stainless insert around the corners => add 3 more beers

Seriously the new rub rail looks wicked awesome!! especially the arch and the bow profile.

Let me know if you want a hand installing the engine . . . I've still got a few weeks before I start my new job.

You should post some pics of the finished leaning post wearing the cushions and boat jewelry.

Congrats again on the new house too.

ps - I'll let you know when I get close to putting the floor in.

It's 3/4 inch. we used some clamps to help hold it in place as close to the corner as we could then we started to make the bend by hand and pounded with a hammer on the ss insert while it was wrapped in a towel and slowly bent it around the cornar. There really needs to be thick fiberglass at the corners for the screws to bite into.
