Go to the Taco website and check it out.

You will need to measure the height and width of the cross-section of your rubrail...Taco has diagrams that show what type of cross-section each rail looks like. They also list them by boat manufacturer.

They are expensive. I got lucky and bought mine as a "overstock" item from Surplus Unlimited in Daytona for $199.00....Mine typically retails for ~$425.00 for a 50' kit.

Also, I went with the black vinyl insert instead of the white one...the white looks pretty dingy after awhile.

Have fun, you will need two people to do the install. Be sure and watch the video DVD that comes with the kit before you try this at home !

Let me know how the install goes, as we hope to be installing ours on our '66 by the end of this month.  We went with Taco and got a great deal on it from Defender, although that was during their annual spring sale.

I wish I had my list of parts... I looked with no success.  I used the TACO kit... I think it is this one:

Nearly the same identical rubrail I put on my 1990 200 Osprey.

Check out Surplus Unlimited (NOT Surplus Marine) in Daytona, they have several, all with black vinyl inserts:
