God
I just refuse to spend that much money on rub rail for this boat. the cost of new rubrail is ridiculous!!!!! Anyone have some used or want to part some out off of a v. thanks in advance
 
Hey Kracker, are there any boat builders in your area, lots of times we pick up end cuts from boat manufactures down here, considering the new boat market is in the crapper, they will probably sell you the length of rub rail you need, especially if its old stock.
 
Full blown boat builders? not to my knowledge. But there is a ton of Repair shops. I have gone that route with repair shops around here but they just order the minimal for the job at hand.
 
Well smoke I guess opions fall on how deep your pockets are. In my personal shallow pocket opion those prices are ridiculous. Looking for used and functional. My v is not gonna be in any contests for the prettiest boat.
 
I would imagine rub rail is one of those items that are hard to find used. When I first looked in to rub rail I thought the prices were ridiculous too, I have now become content that when I change mine it will cost me $150-$200.
 
I found a guy local thats parting out a v today. Im gonna get the rub rail,teak trims, and a bimini top for 50 bucks. if your patience and keep asking around things will come witch is the reason im doing this project. The only thing im gonna by not used is the cloth and resin. I want this project to be fun and cheap.
 
Oh I'm certainly not pointing any fingers.. You could easily spend $500 or more on a rubrail if you didn't know where to shop.... I'm building mine on the "stupid cheap" budget plan.

congrats on your find btw
