Selecting rubrail for '69 20ft SF?

[mitchman]

The metal rubrail on my 1969 20ft SF was trashed after last season and I ripped it off this spring. I am looking for a reasonable replacement. I saw that Strict in his rebuild used the TACO# V21-9613 (1-9/16’’X 3/4’’) Rigid Rub Rail with stainless steel insert. I really don't care about the look of stainless steel on a rubrail that much, can anyone recommend a rub rail that will fit that is more economical and doesn't use the stainless insert? Thanks!

Okay, I've done the search here and can anyone be more specific about which brand and the exact model number of the rub rail they used? I am having the worst time finding something appropriate for a 1977 20' CC that will be used for a safety/coach boat in a sailing program. I am at the point where I am considering just cleaning up the original one and putting it back on, dings and all. Seems a shame considering the rest of the boat and paint is all shiny.

I need a rail that is soft and covers the full width of the gunnel, because we often side-tie sailboats to this Seacraft. The original is great but no one seems to make that specific style anymore. The new ones I've found are either too wide or too narrow, or doesn't have an inside curve that fits the gunnel tightly, or is that hard rigid vinyl instead of semi-rigid or flexible.

Help!

I like the big black vinyl one on mine - beat the crap out of it docks never shows squat. Not sure what they call it but somebody will know
