Author	Topic:   WTB - Rubrail for a 1978 Outrage 21
flippa	posted 02-21-2008 04:48 PM ET (US)         I need to replace the rubrail on my 1978 Outrage. The insert fell out of the track on the last run of the year. I had looked at trying to repair it, but it is junk. THe insert is all scarred up, the track is cracked in several places and quite a few of the fasteners that secure it to the hull have failed. Who carries these replacement parts? How difficult is it to install? I have seen stuff for sale on Ebay, but I want to buy the right stuff for the boat, not cheap junk. Thanks
