Looking for a Boat Hardware Retailer?

Who knows in Alberta??? that you will have to find

Rub Rail info from TACO. TACO is a huge manufacturer and most marine retailers can get it. You can get stainless inlaid rub rail or more simple black D-rubber style.

Take a look at a Pursuit or a Grady White rub rail as an example of a stainless insert rub rail, versus a late model Boston Whaler for a straight black rubber rub rail. Ocean Sport Roamer uses the black D-rubber also.

With a personal priority on low maintenance functionality, I prefer to stay away from the stainless insert rub rail. You may prefer the classic look of the stainless insert style.

Examples of each. Note that the rubber rub rail bounces back after a dock kiss, whereas the stainless insert rub rail will remain dented / crushed / scraped after a dock kiss / piling kiss.

I can tell you from personal experience its not easy to keep it looking good stuff weighs a ton maybe try a good auto detail shop as they put it alot on cars and truck and those guys are good at keeping it clean and looking good (tricks of trade) and better at eyeing it up.....I have seem some TERRIBLE homemade ones waves as much as the water LOL trust me when you see a boat and that sticks out as one of the first things you see you will say "man thats bad"
