Ok, I have looked through the site and it seems that there is some confusion as to what the original rub rail is on the older Montauks. 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

Yes and Yes.... and NO....

The 3 piece was the Recreational series.

The 2 piece black was the Commercial series.

Thanks Joe, do you have a source for the 3 piece?

Lots of places.

Twin Cities Marine is a sponsor here.
Call Sue Lodel

Not sure if any of our other sponsors carry the rub rail at this time.
