I've been happily using an 11'4" Standard Whaler, hull number BWCL4282G788 for 20 years. It hangs from davits when not in use, and serves it's intended purposes delightfully. Surprisingly the finish is still new looking!

I notice that your web site does not include the sizes 11'4" and smaller. Never-the-less, I could use some guidance to a source of rub rail components. The little 'Whaler has a three layer rub rail. The middle layer is a brittle plastic that has cracked, even shattered in places where the boat has struck obstructions. The rail should be replaced, and I'd like to keep it "box stock". Are these little boats still supported by the factory?
