Ugly rub rail

I just bought a used 191 and the rubrail was in very poor condition. I was going to replace it or just remove it all together when I experminted with my plastic welded i bought for $30 and found that applying heat to the rail brings back some of the color. It looks far from new but 1000 times better than before. take a look at the pic. right side is before and left is after. just be care full because there is a fine line from nice looking to burned. Learned that the hard way.

Does any one know what is behind the rubrail. Is there a ugly seam? Would it be a bad idea to completly remove it??? I always trailer the boat and dont leave it docked for any length of time.

Hi Brian. Obviously the rub rail is there to take the brunt of bump at the dock and for eye appeal. I think you can clean them up with some Amorall. I checked with Triumph on your question and here was the response:

Because we use a rub rail we do not detail the area behind it. You can go without however it will be a bit of an eye sore.

thanks for checking into it. it was just a idea. I like the way the new white ones look but have heard that the crome on them gets scratched.

remember Triumphs are all one piece constructed as a thermos bottle ,so there is no seam as in glass boats where the hull and deck screw together

Being the widest point on the boat and the point at which all angles slope away from, this is where the mold parting line would be. As expected all molded products have a parting line, and they are always a bit unsightly.
