Boat Rub Rail Replacement Kit Semi-Rigid Vinyl 30' Black 1 7/8’’ x 3/4’’

Designed for classic small fiberglass runabouts, this uniquely shaped Semi-Rigid Rub Rail is ideal for project boat restorations - providing an OEM replacement that retains the original look and feel of the simple, understated elegance boaters love from the 1980s and 1990s. Originally developed for Thunderbird, the distinct shape of this profile is designed to hug the outward-facing lip where the cap and hull joint come together - extending from the top of the gunnel and curving around to the hull. This all-black 30’ long semi-rigid kit includes stainless steel hardware and nylon end caps for a complete rub rail replacement installation.

What are the Benefits of Semi-Rigid Vinyl Rub Rail

This semi-rigid vinyl rub rail kit was developed to match the impact protection from rigid vinyl while retaining the flexible properties of softer durometer profiles. Because it’s more flexible than rigid, this semi-rigid vinyl profile requires less heat for installation, especially around transom curves and at the bow.

Unlike stainless steel and rigid vinyl, this semi-rigid profile does not require expensive pre-forms for installation, making it more cost-effective and the perfect afternoon project for DIY boaters. When compared to stainless steel boat rub rails, semi-rigid vinyl will not rust or corrode from water and salt deposits.

Backed by a manufacturer’s 5-year warranty, this semi-rigid rub rail replacement kit provides years of trouble-free protection in style.

For a clean, OEM replacement rub rail project for your small fiberglass runabout boat, this semi-rigid vinyl rub rail kit is for you. Its semi-rigid properties retain the look of rigid with added flexibility - making the installation process easier with minimal heat.
