Steve,
Your Rubrail is made by Taco, and it is one of these on this page:
http://tacomarine.com/cat--Rigid-Rub-Rail-with-Flexible-Insert--Rigid_rubrail_flex_insert.html

Don't know where in your area you can buy, but I know the extrusion we buy comes in about 18' sections, and the insert we buy buy the roll.

As far as your tackle center being water tight?  Well, I would take a hose to it and see what happens...

Thanks again Bob,  there were so many rubrails, it got to be confusing.  i figured you would know exactly which one to get.  

Thanks, Steve

Steve,
I'm pretty sure it was this one:

Check out the insert at the bottom of the page.

Hey Bob, I noticed that the spec mention a water tight tackle locker.  Is that the small area in the upper box to left of the washdown area
Steve

It is indeed.

Seabob-

I snuck a peek at that Taco link also .... Do they sell direct?
I didn't see any prices, and I'm wondering how much a rubrail replacement might run me. Mine needs a new one, but it's cosmetic, so not high on my priority list.

GD, Steve,
I have a very good friend at Taco, but the problem is the extrusion length.  Even doubled over, your still looking at 9' plus the shipping carton, which means freight instead of UPS/Fedex.  The insert is no problem, as a 200' roll is only the size of a computer box.

Let me get a hold of my buddy, and see if we can't work something out.  Most, if not all of their stuff ships out of Miami.  There might be a solution.  And yes, I know you guys have the gray insert.

Seabob-


Any chance in asking your friend at Taco to see if we could get a custom run of rubrail to match the 70's era classic green? I'm sure we could get a thread going to see if there is enough interest.

Rog,
What shade green?  And you better be a south sider...GO SOX!!!

Don't know about the Cubbie fans...

[Asport-Rog]

Hey Bob-

Are you from Chicago? I might have to lie and say I'm a Sox fan to get my hands on some of the green rubrail! But the truth is I've been a diehard CUBS fan all my life. If it helps, I did root for them in '05 when we were out of it!

I'm not sure of what the actual color of green is but can provide a sample. I know many here have asked about finding the elusive green rubrail.

Rog,
Born in Chicago Heights, raised in Olympia Fields, graduated Rich Central HS, attended U of I until '80.  Parents, Mom, 35th and Western, Dad, 87th and Washtenaw.  That should tell you something!

See if my buddy at Taco can figure this one out.  And don't worry, Cub fans will be allowed to participate...SACRILAGE!!!!

[Asport-Rog]

I guess you could be called a "south sider" for sure. I'm pretty sure the profile is a standard Taco run but in green. the insert is a white rope style.

thanks Bob for the rubrail information.  Let me know about your friend if he can get these for us.  I probably could order from wet maring.com, they have these....I think!

Another consideration is Barbour Plastics.  Here's their site:

Although they were not the original supplier, they make an excellent product, and supply Boston Whaler.  We know they aren't cheap!
