Boat Rub Rail Replacement Kit 60' - 80' SuproFlex Semi-Rigid Vinyl 2" x 1 1/4"

Pull up to the dock in fashion with a new Semi-Rigid SuproFlex Rub Rail, the ultimate line of defense for enhanced impact protection. This unique, patented profile features a semi-rigid back and a 95-durometer front, combining the firm qualities of traditional rigid vinyl with the flexibility and cushion found in softer vinyl. This kit includes a seamless coil of semi-rigid SuproFlex, a coiled flexible vinyl overlay insert, screws for installation, and a pair of stainless steel end caps. This profile is ideal for bass boats, fresh and saltwater bay boats, and even smaller center consoles. Semi-rigid SuproFlex is a fantastic OEM replacement for many leading boat brands, including Ranger, Scout, Edgewater, and Sportsman Boats. It is offered in 60’ or 80’ lengths in all black or all Arctic white.

Why Does Semi-Rigid SuproFlex Have an Overlay Insert?

The profile included in this kit was exclusively designed to pair with a flexible vinyl overlay insert. This design not only increases the overall cushion effect, but it’s a modern take on the classic rub rail aesthetic. While traditional inserts fit inside the profile, the overlay design sits on top with two interior connection points, securing the insert in place.

 Benefits:                                  

• Seamless one-piece installation
• Cushions impacts to protect your boat
• Easy to bend a tight radius with minimal heating
• Adds style and flair to your boat
• Easier to install than rigid vinyl or stainless steel rub rail

How Does Semi-Rigid SuproFlex Compare to Stainless Steel?

If choosing between semi-rigid and stainless steel rub rail for your boat, SuproFlex is the natural choice. It’s far more cost-effective than steel, it’s easier to install, and requires much lower maintenance to keep it looking fresh and new for years to come.

The initial financial investment in stainless steel is much greater than in vinyl, which is made in the USA. Unlike steel, semi-rigid SuproFlex can be coiled and requires no specialty freight services, whereas steel traditionally ships in 20’ lengths, necessitating costly shipping.

Installing a semi-rigid SuproFlex rub rail is an easier process than steel because it’s flexible and molds to the shape of your hull. Steel often requires costly pre-forms, especially around bow pulpits and 90-degree transoms. Steel is also more difficult to conform to stylish S curves, a design feature found in many popular boat models today.

Maintaining the quality and appearance of semi-rigid SuproFlex is easy with regular freshwater washdowns at the dock or back home in your driveway. This will keep your SuproFlex looking great for years to come.

If you’re ready to elevate your boat’s appearance, style, and protection at the dock, this semi-rigid SuproFlex rub rail replacement kit is for you. With everything you need for a complete upgrade, this all-in-one kit will have your boat looking brand new again in as little as one afternoon.
