I am looking for rub rail parts for the mustang. I didn't take the boat apart and I thought I had all the parts but apparently not.

Taco J molding. A lot of places sell it, but shipping is expensive. Check West Marine.

Mike,
What exactly are you missing? I seem to remember from your other post, that you said you need the corner pieces?

I will have to install the pieces I have but I don't see anything that will wrap around the rear corners of the boat.

Doesn't the rub rail itself just bend around the corners?

Yes they do. Get yourself one of these for the size screw your using,a helper and have at it! I got most of mine from West marine but they were not at the time getting any more- still needed a piece which I got from Reid

I have one of "those" tools that Gary is referring to. Its the proper size for the rubrail you'll be using on Twenty. Let me know when the rub rail and I'll run it over. If you have a emt conduit bender....I'll see you sooner than that!

I temporarily installed the rub rail parts I have I am missing both rear corners and a section of the left side. Strange thing almost all the screw holes don't line up I think what I have is off a different boat .

Maybe TRBenj can comment but I don't recall a boat with the seams in those spots. Mine has one at the front starting about 1 foot down the starboard side and then wrapping around the port side for the 12' sections they come in. Then the next one goes down the port side for the next 12', I believe it stops about 3-4' before the stern. The next one goes from there then around the corner and follows the curvature of the transom like a frown. It looks hard to do but the aluminum rail flexes enough with a little persuasion with a rubber hammer to do the job. Now the next piece you can start from the starboard front and just continue down the side. What you will end up with is about a 2-3' gap can't remember exactly, but this is where you have to buy a 12' section to complete that gap. The remnants of my 12' piece went to others so they didn't have to buy the whole length. The reason I think they put the seams where they are was to give them the leverage need to make the turn, if the seam is too close to the turn it just won't bend and lay right.
