Author	Topic:   1976 Whaler Revenge 21: Rub Rail Repair
jrafter65	posted 08-16-2015 10:19 PM ET (US)         While in my [1976 Boston Whaler REVENGE 21] boat last weekend, the rubber stripping [perhaps means the vinyl insert in the rub rail] around my boat detached in the starboard side from the middle of the boat through to the back corner. I am wondering if I should epoxy the stripping or if I should replace it around the whole boat.

I'd check with Twin Cities Marine in Wisconsin for a replacement part. Usually you can pop the vinyl cap back into the rail holder. I am not certain how the rub rail is attached on the c.1976 21-foot hull. Generally it would be more elegant to replace the whole rub rail section if one part of it becomes damaged.
