about 45-50 feet
What you dont have the brain to have 1 guy hold a tape measure at a set point and then draw the tape out around the boat… DUH!!!
You should measure where the rub rail goes now, down both rails and possibly along the stern as well. I would think this would be about 50 feet in total.
On my boat the rubber pulls out of a piece of aluminum trim. To replace the rubber it’s just a matter of pulling out the old piece and pushing the new one in, no tools required. Yours may be different and so require different installation.
couple ways you could go about determining how much you’ll need.
One is to ask for random guesses from your unknown internet “friends,” but without telling them how wide your boat is.
Or, you might get out there with a tape measure and measure the distance around your boat, at rubrail height.
You decide.
Installation hint: rubber mallet, $1.99 on the camping isle at walmarts.
Glad to have that rapier wit back, jtexas. You crack me up! 100% right about the mallet, if it’s vinyl moulding, sometimes a blowdryer helps, too.
