What are the Benefits of Semi-Rigid SuproFlex Rub Rail?

Semi-rigid SuproFlex rub rail features two levels of hardness that are fused together into one attractive profile. With a semi-rigid back and a 95-durometer front, this patented style of SuproFlex is easier to bend than traditional rigid or stainless steel and retains the flexible properties necessary to hug most hull shapes. This profile eliminates the need for costly pre-forms, which not only saves money but also time when installing.

The hollow channels incorporated into the design of this profile provide an extra layer of shock absorption, which limits the transfer of energy from impact to the boat’s hull. The semi-rigid backing is designed to completely cover the seam where your cap and hull joint come together, which helps prevent damage from water and salt penetration.

Why Choose Semi-Rigid SuproFlex Rub Rail Over Stainless Steel?

There are three primary reasons why semi-rigid SuproFlex rub rail is superior to stainless steel: cost, installation, and maintenance.

Without question, stainless steel rub rail is expensive. The material investment up front can range anywhere from 30% to 50% higher than vinyl. Unlike semi-rigid SuproFlex, stainless steel cannot be coiled and shipped in a traditional box. Because stainless steel rub rail is typically sold in 20’ sections, it requires expensive specialty freight. Stainless steel rub rail is much harder to bend and mold to hull shapes, and often requires an added cost for pre-forming.

When it comes to installing, semi-rigid SuproFlex is ideal for DIY at-home projects. It’s flexible and lighter weight when compared to stainless steel, which makes for a straightforward, uncomplicated installation. Most boat owners can completely replace their old rub rail in a single afternoon using the semi-rigid SuproFlex rub rail kit.

Maintaining semi-rigid SuproFlex is as simple as regular freshwater washdowns. Unlike stainless steel, it does not rust or corrode with prolonged exposure to the harsh elements of the marine environment. Because it comes in one continuous coil, there are no seams or exposed hardware, thus creating a clean and elegant installation that looks pristine for years to come.

For bass boat and bay boat owners looking to refresh their vessel, the semi-rigid SuproFlex rub rail kit is for you. Its attractive overlay insert design and dual durometer profile offer premium protection and style that keeps you on the water longer, doing what you love.
