flash14 · #1 05-11-2005, 08:48 PM

i am looking to install a new rub rail on my 1973 20' seacraft. I like the taco rail, but want to know my options before buying one of those. I would like to find a plain old black rub rail that has a half round look to it and is 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" in height. anyone have any ideas where I can buy one from? or any advice as to what I should buy? Thanks again guys!

Taco makes some really good stuff and they have a fantastic selection to choose from. Why look anywhere else?

Andrew,

Try Hamilton Marine in Maine (Portland, Rockland, Searsport). They have on of the best selections of rails I have ever seen in print, plus their prices are good and they are a pleasure to deal with. www.hamiltonmarine.com. And no, I'm not a relative or paid shill; just a satisified occassional customer.

Thanks guys! I actually ordered a taco rail kit for the 20', but I'm still deciding on what to get for the 23'. i really like the Barbour Plastics rail with the stainless insert. My only problem is it is mucho $$$$$$$ Thanks again for the info and that Hamilton Marine catalog is awesome.
