My rub rail was damaged in a collision some years ago. It is an integral part of the hull to deck seal, and riveted to the flange of the hull. So removing or replacing it involved lifting the entire deck off the hull by about 6" to get space to remove the rivets. Plus all the wiring connections and hose fittings would need to be undone/redone in the process. Instead we removed the rubber outboard of the top sides with a Sawzall and installed a 1" x 4" rub rail made of Starboard-like material and capped with a stainless half oval. Now I have a substantial rub rail that is actually wider than the tumblehome of the hull. Cost about $6k IIRC, but paid by the other guys insurance and less than half the quote to replace the rub rail.
