I am also inthe market for a rub rail, but i like the black rub rail with stainless steel insert. If anybody bought this, where did you get it? Is the stainless steel insert a pain in the butt to bend around the bow and transom corners?...how did anybody do it?

Don
Do you use any of these shapes for the rubrail … These came from Alan Ray.
Ridged vinyl with SS insert.

The other thing … whats the easiest way, if there is such a thing, to get this stuff soft to bend it (If you don’t have blacktop and 95° days). That Black piece looks like it would be a bear to do.

I have used the white stuff on an Intrepid. I use a heat gun to bend at the bow and aft corners. Some boats have a round enough bow so you don't need to heat it. Be careful not to overheat and lose the shape of the rail. Get a little extra and do a practice heat and bend. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
