Custom Boat Top

I am sure they sell what I am looking for as an aftermarket product at Overtons, Westmarine, Boatersworld, etc - but I am having trouble finding it - What is the heavy black rubber material actually called in a parts catalog? I always called it the rub-rail that goes around the very outside edge of the top deck area to protect the boat when it bangs against the dock, pier or pilings. Some boats come from factory with a metal rub-rail material edging (like stainless) - most though come with a heavy white or black rubber material. I have an older boat I wanted to just cover the entire lip or leading edge fiberlass with basically a heavy U shaped length of black rubber rub-rail material. I have seen custom boat builders use this material all the time on workboats and custom builts. Its extremely thick and heavy and covers the entire edge - but I can't find it so far in any catalogs, maybe I'm searching with the wrong name for the product, or might have to try a certain catalog/manufacturer besides Overtons, etc ? Any help a knowledgeable boater has would be greatly appreciated on this -

Check with a large marina in your area that does repairs. There are several different types and their help in identifying your type is the first step. And you are correct it's still available. Check the site below Good Luck!

Painted all flat black with tinted windows and a big "skull 'n crossbones" pirate flag in the back.

Powered by twin 540 Chevy big blocks with intercooled twin turbos, producing 1000hp each.

Want a super mean boat that can cruise at 70-90, and top 100mph.

I am looking for a site where I can view custom colors for a boat paint job. I have searched many sites, but all of the colors are basic. Can I use a paint other than marine for the top of my boat??? (rubrail and up)

here is a link to super marine paint, they have a wide variety of top and bottom paint colors available (see their color chart) their paint includes us gov. spec. paint. you may want to do some research on their paint products.

I myself want to hand-build my own houseboat, but in an exotic way. First of all, I want this boat to be shaped hexagonally; I am not exactly intending it to go much further then where I put it initially so what's the best way to anchor it?
Second of all, I want it to be almost excessively buoyant, so I can put lots of weight on it. Most of that weight will be soil, as I'm intending to make my own floating yard. The house itself will be built on top of this lot, what methods techniques would be best to ensure maximum buoyancy on a budget.
Third, considering construction time is no object but material prices are, what would be the best materials for freshwater/seawater hulls. I'm not sure if I want to live on a freshwater lake or off the coast. What materials are best for this construction?
Thank you for your time.

If I were you I would purchase a used river barge. They will support enormous weight, are excessively buoyant, have flat tops and are very strong. In addition you would have a large basement.
The only criteria I wasn't able to meet was that it isn't hexagonal but I think the other advantages more than offset this disadvantage.

for this tote:
http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ servlet/CategoryDisplay?page=custom-boat -and-tote-bag&categoryId=40297&p arentCategory=4782&cat4=2879&sto reId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1& ;feat=2879-sub2

size large, short handles.
I will be monogramming it, and the monogram is the same colour as the handles.

Shouldn't be a white or khaki body since this is for school..
I want a zipper top and an outside pocket.

sorry for asking this but I just can't seem to find the right colours!

thanks ♥
and do you think navy blue body (and outside pocket) with olive green everything else would match?

I liked the one with deep purple as the main color and olive green as the bottom, zipper, and straps.
