Looking for replacement rub rail for 1964 Starcraft "Cobra"

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 pics are of rub rail F8178. The sample goes into the aluminum channel very easily, and the fit is a little loose. That said, I think it will work OK, especially once a much longer section is installed. Here is the info on availability, pricing and colors from Barbour Plastics:
"We have the following in stock:
F8178 - $1.50/ft

Midnight gray 55 foot coils
Khaki 130 foot coils
Off White 300 foot coils
Black 48, 52 and 55 foot coils
Dark Blue 42 foot coils

F2109 we don't have any stock. The minimum run is 1,000 feet and the price is $1.37/ft"

Hope this helps some of the people looking to replace their old rub rail. I think I will probably just go with black in the F8178.

The one place you you didn't try was your Starcraft dealer
Babor supplies Starcraft with their rubrail and the nice lady at Barbor also supplied me with the Starcraft part number and I was able to order from the Starcraft dealer the exact number of feet of rub rail I needed (not 1000') for my 1963 Starchief

CALL YOUR STARCRAFT DEALER AND ORDER YOUR RUBRAIL THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to pursue this this week. I tried with the closest Starcraft Dealer to me and they were no help. I'll try a few more this week.

DUCKY12, any chance you still have that part number handy???

Well what do ya know....e-mailed Leaders Marine in Kalamazoo Mi, and he said he just needs the HIN# off the boat and he will be able to tell which rub rail insert to order. I'll have to get that tonight and e-mail him back tomorrow. Thanks ducky12....
