    Just thought I would let everyone know that WEFCO Rubber in Conoga Park California makes an almost Identical replacement for the rub rail. I had to replace mine after 30 years of service and it ran about $260.00 (Two Years Ago)

    You can get them at <a href="http://www.wefcorubber.com" target="_blank">http://www.wefcorubber.com</a>

    The part number from Wefco, for anyone who needs to know, is 187-1.

    Those corner caps do not look like the originals. Did you have those made? Mine are missing and I need new ones.

    They are originals I had lost one and Brian Lawson sold me another one. I took them down to my Local metal polisher and he made them like a mirror. The only problem is that I have to re-polish every couple of years.

    If you look at the Ad in the media section you can see them on the boat.

    The Rub rail end caps that I was talking about from my old 1973 look just like these show above. If I find them, you guys can have a bidding war!

    If worse comes to worst I've got I guy here in my hood that I think could make some so if someone else really needs them that is certainly OK. We hope you find them! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />
