rub rail end cap thing

[22E6441]

My boat is an older 14.5 foot steury, and I'm missing the aluminum cap on the left side of the stern. You know....the rub rail comes around and ends at the corner, then there's a piece of aluminum that goes on the stern from the corner to the splashwell and ends nicely. I'll post a pic later if I can...

So, I'm missing the one side. What are my options?

1) Find a metal shop and have them craft a mirror image of the one I have? Probably big bucks.

2) Some other alternative rub rail cap thing or aluminum piece?

3) Begin the long search for a similar piece?

Thoughts?

Smile...... iboats store carries that stuff! I used to have a Steury S1500 and I miss that boat..... too bad they are long out of business :redface:

You might have to replace both sides to make them look the same.....

I see lots of rub rails, but maybe I'm just not seeing it.

Here's the piece from the right side in the picture. Could the rub rail bend around that corner and terminate at the splash well? I'm confused.....

I am looking for a similar piece for the port side of my 1978 14" Sylvan Sportster. Did you ever have any luck sourcing this trip piece? I'm having trouble describing it and, thus, I am having great difficulty trying to search for it.

Could this work for you if you were to bend it around the corner in the transom?
