Mine is an 83 and has 3 piece rub rail. 90 degree soft top trim then plastic receiver with black insert. I have seen it on many of the boats on the site. The other seems to be the 2 piece all black that wraps around the transom. My question, is the three piece the original? If so does anyone have a source? Will the black 2 piece on the newer Montauks make the bend around the transom corner on the older models? Thanks, Wayne
