Rub Rail end caps

[192]

Made some stainless rub rail end caps today... the old ones were looking tired. I still need to polish them.

Nice job , I have looked all over the web to find new ones for my boat and cant find anywhere .

 

[192]

i saw some on ebay not long ago... I think tayler marine in OC MD has them. ... i just wanted to make my own.

Those look great. Take a pic when they are installed.

thanks, here is a test fit... need to remove the old sealant and reseal it. Decided not to fully polish and went with a fine brushed look.

HEY THOSE LOOK JUST LIKE WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR ...HOW MUCH FOR A SET ??? THANKS KEITH

 

[192]

here they are installed... I'm no pro so they don't look as good as they could.

 

[antaris]

They look fine to me! nice work!

It would be great if you could hide the screws... somehow

 

[Lainie J]

They look great, you want to make a couple for my Marlin?

 

[Tucker]

I think they look great! Yea, the stockers are available. I got a set from Taylor Marine last year.

 

[DRoss203]

Seriously, if you are going to make a few more, I'll buy some. Please let me know.

Dear 192... you just got yourself a new job: Official Rub Rail end cap provider... to us all! :mrgreen:

hehe just kidding, geat job mate!

PS> I just replaced mine laste year with plastic ones, otherwise, I'd want some too! Wait, how much are they?

 

[192]

Please PM me... I wasn't planing on making more but if your interested send me a message. Stainless steel isn't an easy metal to work with and these may look easy to make and in theory they are but take time to get right.

 

[DRoss203]

PM sent. I am very interested, I thinnk the stainless looks much better than the blue plastic.

 

[192]

Ok I have thought about it more and I think I should just make 10 or 20 sets. I'm thinking $75 a set. They will be an exact match, even better then the ones I made.

I'm pretty sure all the older Grady's have the same rub rail. I know the newer ones with the stainless rails there a little bit different, and already have a stainless end cap.

The plastic ones are $30 a set I think.


Reactions....?

 

[Tucker]

Are they 316 stainless? That's $75 installed right?? :mrgreen:

 

[192]

yes 316 SS...

I need to hear from you all, if 5 or more want them I will make them. also I think the bigger boats have larger rub rails... I'm not 100'% but if that's the case then I would need someones end caps to make duplicates.

Hi,

Do you have any of these end caps available? If so, I'd be interested in buying a set.

Thanks.

I need a set. There are stainless caps on ebay that look like ours not sure if it's the same guy. I haven't compared measurements yet. I couldn't find any from Taylor Marine.

I also need a set for my '99 Marlin. My end caps are almost completely disintegrated. Anyone have any updates on this?
