Stainless rub rail

[Scott]

yes, I used the hollow type.

IMO: The solid is not too flexible and cost over rides any pros. Looks are pretty much the same. I would recommend the solid stainless rail if it was mounted on a vessel without the black rubber backing, like the big sport fishing machines [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

FYI
Chuck can confirm this with what he used BUT Even though it says "hollow" the black rub rail (backing) is typically shaped to fit the hollowed back of the Stainless... so there is no void between the stainless and the plastic (wont get crushed).

I used the solid on a little boat that I built. I didn't want a splice, so I ordered 2 of them 16ft long. The shipping is a killer! It's truck freight. The 2 pieces came sandwiched between 2- 1X3's. The cost was $70ea + $50ea shipping, for a total of $240. 1in wideX 16ft long.
