    Hey folks:

    The Wefco product can be purchased in black with a black insert also. Back in 2000, I submitted a sample from a 1973 18' Tournament skier that I co-owned and paid $100 for a die to be created for the 187-1 rubrail profile plus the new product (see attached invoice w/addl charge for die cutting). I paid for my 1975 and the 1973 on that invoice if it seems high.

    I choose black on black for the low maintenance issues, white is high maintenance.

    Cheers!

    Kevin

    Read this thread from the beginning. The installation info is there with two methods I believe.

    Hey gents, the rub rail on this skier version looks very similar to the rub rail on my 1977 flat top hydrodyne? Do you know if they were universal? I might want to replace my rub rail and was curious if they were the same. Thanks for any response.

    I'd give a call to WEFCO and provide your profile thickness and depth. My guess is that is is the the same as the 187 die but they will know for sure.
