My hull seems to be separating at the rub rail

[joshuacallen]

2001 glastron 195sx. Help! The sealant on the under side of my rub rail came apart and it's almost like the boat has an outer skin thats has it's edge exposed at the rb rail. Can anyone shine some light on this for me? Thanks

We will need some pics, but be aware that the deck/cap to hull joint is almost always hidden by the rub rail. What might look like a disaster could be normal . . .

Thanks guys. I'll have to take some pics tomorrow and then learn how to post them. (kinda computer illiterate) Get it done ASAP. I guess if thats the case, it just needs to be re- sealed?
