I am looking to buy a moonstone (desert tan) rigid receiver for the rub rail on an early 70's 19 Boston Whaler. Boston Whaler only offers it in black today and I would really like the moonstone. I have been calling some dealers including twin cities looking for some to no avail. Hoping someone here may have some. I already have the new red insert (got in on Larry's order). I would need about 50' of it. My boat has just been re-gelcoated and I am ready for this part.Any help would be appreciated.

About eight years ago I bought a 40.ft.roll of moonstone for my Newport from Marine Max in Tampa. They are a Whaler dealer as well other brands. They ordered it and had in the same week. |

According to Sue at Twin Cities Boston Whaler discontinued the moonstone in April of 2008. My only hope is to find new old stock at a dealer or an individual or try do get Barbour to do a run for a group buy or something.

Scott -You might want to get on the phone and call around to the different Whaler dealers. Maybe one of them has some left in stock. Can you email me a part number and I will check my local dealer. They sometimes have unsold parts gathering dust in the attic. Found a new classic Montauk stern seat last year that had been up there for 8 years. Regards, Phil |

I did call about 4 this week that were recommended to me by Sue. I will get the number to you when I go in my office tomorrow - I left it on my desk. Thanks Phil! |

Hamilton Marine has some Barbour Moonstone receiver in stock. I am not sure if it is the correct extrusion. http://hamiltonmarine.com/ |

Phil, Reid has been looking into it for me. I sent him a fax with the info yesterday. He is trying to confrim with Whaler on what they really have. I am not very optimistic as I spoke with Barbour yesterday. They say they have not run this style receiver in Moonstone for quite some time. I may have to try and get a group purchase together. I will hold off on that decision until Reid gets confrimation. Thanks for the assistance - Just keeping the thread up to date for anyone watching. |

Rich - I have the take off rubrail from mine - its brittle and doesn't look very nice. Not sure what your application is but you are welcome to it.

You got it Richard. I haven't heard any news back from dealer so I will get together details of group buy. I need to talk to Larry and figure out how he figured shipping cost etc. I need to order 500 feet to get it done. I will be taking 100 feet (to cover all the red I ordered) - I will put a post together this week.(both here and the other site)

Hi Scott, I will take a length for my 18' and 22' just to have around. Let me know the specifics and thanks for taking the time to put this together. Jim |

I just got some information that this rubrail for the 1970's 19's and 21's (not ribsides) does not fit the 2nd generation Outrage boats. So I would think Scott's order would only apply to the old classics of the '70's. |

I will put together a separate post and will include a picture image of the profile of the receiver. The paper shows it as early Outrage/Revenge. I have no clue if it fits other models or not but it will also show two other popular styles. I would suggest comparing it to your boat to be sure.
