On the up side, however, few projects do as much to improve the appearance of an older boat as a bright, new bang rail.
Removing the old rail and installing the new will consume the better part of a working day. An average 30-foot boat will require approximately 70 feet. New rub rail is expensive, costing at from $6 to $8 per running foot. This is not a project to be taken lightly. The only way to wipe the slate clean is to replace the rub rail. It's as if the boat doesn't want to forget your mistakes at the helm. "Bang rail" is a good name because season after season it takes a lot of banging with each less-than-perfect docking recorded as a cut, scrape, dent or scratch. A less obvious purpose is to cover the joint between the hull and deck. Fiberglass boat gunwales are surrounded by metal and aluminum protection variously called a "bang rail" or a "rub rail." Its obvious purpose is to absorb the impact of close encounters with dock pilings.
