Rub Rail damage

[gnemoff]

Ericson 25.5 had some damage to the rub rail on one side. Has anyone had to replace a section of this before? Can I find several feet of the same rail somewhere to match? Or must I replace all of it with new? Recommendations?

What year boat and type of rub rail?

Damaged rub rail 1980 Ericson 25.5

I have attached a pic of the 1980 Ericson 25.5 w/ the damaged rub rail. I am new to this site and just figuring out how to use it.

Interesting. Apparently the 25 used a different style of rub rail than the rest of the boats. E25 owners will know.

Check out Wefco rubber. I think they might still carry that track and insert.

That looks like the style used on the 70's 32-2

That looks like what I have an eight foot stick of sitting next to me in the basement, I racked it up last year, and again this year, but if it gets shattered again I am going to look into a different style of rail as a replacement.
