I wish I would have gone the SS route when I replaced my insert, but didn't want to change the molding too (more holes).

My boat came with the PC rails and all. Stripped all the PC'ing off and polished to mirror luster. The SS just looks more classy to me.

I have stainless insert in white moulding on my jetboat. much smaller application but it looks good. I don't think you will have an issue with it not looking right with everything else white powdercoating. white and stainless go well together.

I don't think you can use the SS insert with your current rub rail molding. Yours isn't solid, the vinyl insert fits within the molding. The molding for the SS is solid, such that the insert is supported from the backside. Look up Taco Rubrails for pics showing this.

Contact Rubrails.com and talk to Ray. I have put the ss over the existing white rail on 5 or 6 boats. Looks awesome and gets lots of compliments.
