Repairs are done, rail is on except for 7 ft on transom. Had to order 20 ft to get 7 and will put it on in the water.  

Noticeable difference in steering with extra 1 1/2" on rudder. More responsive and even tracks better. Turn radius also improved. Now to get boat cleaned up from being in the yard for a month and then on to our New Years cruise on Friday.  

The rub rail is from Teco and is 2" in dia. It leaves about a 3/8 reveal on top and bottom. It does blend in well with the black teak insert. The screw heads are counter sunk enough they could be filled with caulk or painted black to be almost invisible.
