rubber strip on hull

[beckoning]

What is the name of the rubber strip (about 1" wide) that goes down each side of my aluminum boat's hull? Where can I buy some? Mine is shredded in places.

I looked in Barbour catalog, iBoats.com, and others and found many versions of rub rail. It is all very expensive and comes only in large rolls (20+ ft). I'll start looking for salvaged boats. I just need 5 ft....no need to pay $90.

Check with your local boat dealer. If they rig new or used boats, there is a chance they may have a small sectin laying around from a previous job. It may cost you a couple of bucks but still cheaper than buying the entire 20+ feet.
