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

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

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