rubrails
 

Hi Guys, was thinking over the winter of putting new rub rail on my 24. so yesterday i was looking in from behind and in some places it's scewed and most scewed and bolted. also in some places the hull is glassed to the deck and other places not. i would like to go with an all white rub rail. my questions are, does it have to be aluminum or stainless? also how evil of a job is it? what material are the newer styles made of? and does anybody have a part number? i live in canada so i am kinda stuck ordering local, as not to get screwed over on shipping and brokerage houses. thanks Rick

hey Rick, how bad is it to replace? a lot of the bolts don't look to accessible and some are glassed over. thanks Rick

FX-10...........Not feeling well today. :(

Re: rubrails
 

Are you sure the bolts you are seeing are going through the rub rail? They might be underneath the rubrail bolting the deck to the hull.

What year is your 24? I have a plastic rubrail on mine.

Re: rubrails
 

Let's see some pics of your boat..... What do you have for power?

Re: rubrails
 

NY/NJ Had one CONGO SUMMER............IT WAS GREAT!!!!! NOW WINTER LURKING AROUND THE CONER. :(

Re: rubrails
 

Rick,
The bolts that your seeing are the bolts that secure the deck to the hull. They are around 16" apart. The bumprail is screwed in, and should be a easy replacement.

thanks all, the boat is a 1995 24' with a 2002 225x, i bought it from lightspeed, great people to deal with. sorry no pics. don't own a digital camera. heck i'm still having problems getting out of the 1980's as i'm told. anybody got some good interior pics of there back seat and bolsters, i want to have the interior updated over the winter. i want to lose the vertical pleat look. thanks Rick

Re: rubrails
 

Here is your 24'

Re: rubrails
 

Here's a few pics of my interior. I'm thinking about getting high back buckets that sit a little lower.

Re: rubrails
 

thanks superbabi, hey dave what ya going to do with those seats? i'd be intersested if it would'nt cost 40 trillion dollars to ship. Rick's winter wish list, new white rubrail, update interior, swim steps and ladder, livorsi gauges, trophy prop, pitch? powdercoat various bits and pieces. if anybody has an opinion on what works and what does'nt i'd appreciate your comments. i've had a couple boats before, but this one's more fun so i want play harder. thanks Rick

Re: rubrails
 

Enjoy your new boat. I was up close and personal with it @ Superboat. It looks like a beauty!
