Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

Just purchased Cigarette Gladiator (No Rub Rails) Any suggestions as to how you tie up to fixed piers and pilings without damaging the paint.

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

I would`nt worry about it. Most piers and pilings are bare wood and don`t have any paint on them to begin with....

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

Just buy some good fenders.

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

I agree, most piers and wood pillings are pretty durable and it would be almost impossible to damage them with you fiberglass resin bucket.......... :D

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

I tie the fender horizontally around the pilings. So far so good.

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

Good Luck would be a lot of help...


Roger.... yahhh kill me man...


Seriously you could get those huge foam pads but they look so gay it defeats the purpose of owning the boat in the first place...

I owned a Gladiator and it drove me nuts that it didn't have rub rails. You just have to be really careful and have good help on board at all times.

Roger 1, that was a good one! Once again I am reminded why I do not post. :D

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

Contact Offshoredrillin... Rob Freeman... he has a solution....

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

Don't launch it?? :p

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

To be honest, I never depend on my rubrails anyway. I always have out fenders. I guess I dock as if I owned a Gladiator. :cool:

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

Just leave it on the trailer :rolleyes:

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

i wouldn't worry about rub rails either if i had a good hand like Debbie.......... :D

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

i don't use my rubrails as fenders, i use fenders for that..... :cool:

if you can afford a boat w/o rubrails i guess you can afford to get it fixed when it gets nicked.... :D

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

She is quite handy. When I have her and Johno both on the boat, I feel like I'm with Allstate. :cool:

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

It can be a real nightmare....throw in a good current, a little wind and props turning in on a staggered configuration and it can get real interesting real fast....especially when you are by yourself..... :eek: :eek:

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

my girl is still in training :rolleyes: she is a slow learner :D

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

LMAO, now cuda thats funny, I wont mention the cooder count thread , hmmm maybe some film to get that sack up past your knees? :D.

Seriously though, I have a 20 mil thick clear film that I'm testing for rub rails and keel film. Comes in 60ft Rolls and very easy to self install. Contact me at the number below. Being as it's testing, I'm letting a few people get it for just cost plus shipping. I've used it for years on car headlights. once I'm in the shop I'll post a couple pics of what the film can stand...Rob

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

How is it said?

"Don't come into the dock any faster than you want to hit it??"

Or something like that....

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
 

Jeez.... I legitmately try to send Rob some business and everyone thinks I am just giving him sh1t.....

I put the stuff on my truck and it works great... already got behind several construction trucks and no damage to my truck!!! :D

Back to Rob.... His boat has the film on it too but he uses it to make sure the bird poop doesnt stick to his lawn ornaments :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Boats Without Rub Rails.....help!!!!
