Hoping someone here can help me out. I just got a Mad River Tahoe 16 and need to replace the rub rail. It currently is wood but would replace with vinyl if necessary. I live in Niagara Falls NY and was wondering if there was anyone in the area that could help. I contacted Oak Orchard but it would cost nearly $650 for the repair. Does anyone know of a person who might do this on the side or can offer me some advice?
Thank you,
Jeremiah
do you mean
gunwale?
If you can get the wood its not hard to fashion a replacement gunwale… the rub is that you need more than 16 feet.
Do both gunwales need replacing? That price is high to me. I replaced gunwales on a 15 foot solo for forty bucks… That cost was all the wood…cherry.
Rub rail = gunwale
Yes, the Gunwales.
Yes both sides need replacing. Where did you get the wood?
I found a website that has a kit to replace the entire thing but it costs $200.
I figure I could probably replace it myself but it wouldn’t be easy.
