What rub rail
« on: April 24, 2015, 02:11:11 PM »
What is a good source to get a roll of fresh rub rail insert?  For the mid 80's cvx's?

This is what I used on my CVX18 and my CVX16 when I had it. I fits perfectly but but has a different profile. It comes to more of point than the flat factory one. I think it looks better and it helps keep the aluminum part of the rub rail from getting damaged if you bump up against something.

You can kind of see the difference in this picture. When you put the new one on, continue around the bow(nose) of the boat, don't cut it.

FWIW Chad, Taco is the OEM for the rub rail used on your Glastron Carlson. I've never seen anyone source/find anything other than the Taco insert that works. But that doesn't mean something else doesn't exist. If the company Red suggested or someone else sells something closer to the original let us know. Always good to have options.
