89 captiva 206 rub rail

Hello everyone!  I just purchased an 89 206 with a fully restored interior.  The boat has a 5.0 Mercruiser with the Alpha drive (if I remember right).  I want to replace the rub rail but not finding an oem direct replacement.  I see this Taco company makes several different styles.  Anyone replace theirs or know what i should be purchasing?  Really appreciate any and all input!  Also, was not sure which category to post this in...hope this one is right lol

Thanks

I highly recommend Tessilmare radial for a replacement rubrail. I used it on my old 1994 Maxum 2400 SCR. It comes in different profiles.

Here's their website: https://www.tessilmare.com/en/radial.html

And Jamestown Distributors is the US rep.

I posted some before and after pics in another thread...

Search: "2005 captiva 192 swim platform resealing" if the link doesn't work.

I will look into this thank you!  The rub rail needs replaced unfortunately or I wouldn’t bother with it.  This is my first boat so I’m sure a good functioning rub rail will do me some good haha.

I used Taco rub rail insert (rubber/plastic) on my 280.  To find the right profile I took a small chunk to West Marine and looked at a catalog they had.  What I found did the trick.

I have been looking at the Taco line of products.  Still not sure what I am going to do yet but I am definitely replacing either the insert on the current rub rail or replacing everything.
Thanks!!
