On a white boat should I go with a stainless rub rail or white plastic? What the pros or cons?

I have had both and it depends on if you dock your boat a lot a marinas with some strong currents, the stainless looks good on some boats, BUT the least little tap of a pilon and you have a nice little dent, which then makes the whole side look like crap. The white can get little scatchs and dirty but carbaurator cleaner makes it good as new.

Thats what I was thinkin but white looks cheaper to me.

Stainless ones always jiggle screws loose easier than plastic...plus if you flex the hull the stainless bends outward and pops a screw or 2 loose..docking I do not hit stuff..hardly ..my new boat has no rub rail now you can never hit anything..I would go with plastic again.

White boat... white rubrail. Gives a real clean appearance.

I agree.

Go with Both
Look at the Newer model Fountains with a white backing rubber or plastic material that has a stainless insert.......
Less cleaning than the full white and much tougher than plain stainless and looks really nice........
2 cents worth at half price

If the boat has a good "classic" line .... Consider BLACK !!!

Really accentuates the line of the boat ....

Stainless doesn't hold up , and White fades and gets dull over time .
