It's a miserable job when you get to the bow. Two-person job. Heat gun. A hair dryer works very well. CLAMPS!!!!! At least three. If you can, get some C-vicegrip claps. The rim on the bow features rounded surfaces that allow "regular" clamps to slip. Otherwise, the previous bloggers give good advice.

The topside paint on the gunnels will need touch up post-rub rail instalatiion.

It will take you 3-4 hours, but it's a one-time-good-deal. If you have wife/girlfriend help you, use "sensitivity" or you'll hear threats of mutilation to your genitals.

Good luck!
