ABSTRACT:
A composite rub rail includes an elongated base strip and an elongated center member which fits engagingly into the base strip. The base strip is made of a flexible plastic or elastomeric material, and has a shallow recessed groove formed centrally therein. The center member may be formed from a material which is more rigid than the material of the base strip. The center member includes a cover strip dimensioned to fit in the shallow recessed groove of the base strip. The cover strip may be made of stainless steel. The center member includes at least one fastener attached to and extending away from an inner surface of the cover strip, for operatively engaging the base strip, and for use in attaching the center member in fixed relation to the base strip. A method of attaching a rub rail to a boat is also described.
