Dear  Bruce and all,
Yes, i am interested in seeing a pic or two. Please send to  
jhebda at vrs.us.com.
Refurbishing of the outside hull from the water line up  to the gunnel is 
scheduled 
next (09-10 layup) for Water Horse. This work  will include replacement of all
 the 
trim and rub rails, and a gleaming  paint job. Our rub rails are in poor 
condition 
now but we didn't know  there may be hidden nightmares behind them!

Also we would like to go  to a slightly larger, more resilient material for 
the rub rails,
as the OEM  materials seemed too be stiff plastic, giving little forgiveness 
against a  
dock or lock wall. We saw a boat with real stout rubber rub rails, and the  
skipper 
told me they were from Johnson Rubber. Anybody have any  ideas?

We are currently having our Tug  32-115 repaired in Solomons for water leaks 
from under the top starboard rub  rail.  We had a small leak that we couldn't 
find.  After being  caught in 10 foot (crest to trough) waves the leak was 
much worse.   When the rub rail was removed, and it broke into sections when 
taken off,  there was a crack where the hull and topside was joined.  It was close 
 to 20 feet long.  there were no screws between hull and topside.   I think 
Nordic Tug is doing that now.  Our repair will be screws every  8 inches, 
countersunk, glassed over and non skid put down.   

Just some infor on what we found when the rub rail was lifted.   If desired I 
can send photos of the crack.
