Any feedback on how well Taco flexible vinyl rub rails with flexible inserts hold up? I want to put them on my Quinnie to keep pier bolts and things from gouging my no-rub rail outside-gunwales.

Are they the ones Hamilton Marine sells? If so they work great. I had a couple of friends install them on older boats and they did the job and held up fine. You can skip the flexible insert and use rope if you like the more "nautical" look.

No, they're different. But I like the Hamilton ones better. The one I need seems to have a solid rod of some sort running through it that will make it a lot easier to attach. I could use either rope or the rubber inserts.

I'll call 'em.

Taco OEM's about half the rubrails out there so they are either good or cheap or both :smash:
