    Re: Looking for replacement rub rail for 1964 Starcraft "Cobra" OK, so here are some pics of the rub rail sample. I really liked the F2109 sample from Barbour, but they said it was not in stock (which irritates me since they were supposed to send samples that were in stock!). Anyway, these...

    Re: Looking for replacement rub rail for 1964 Starcraft "Cobra" Good news! I asked the nice lady at Barbour if they could send samples of stuff they might have in stock.

    Re: 1963 16' Starcraft Stardust...the saga begins!!! Thanks Jasoutside. Yeah, I love Colorado...even the snow!
