[QUOTE="richg99, post: 410846, member: 4376"] At first I thought that just a rub-rail would do the trick. Then I realized that the Strake ( thanks, PerchJerker) was actually supporting or stiffening the sides. So, a rubber/plastic rub rail would look good, but not do any stiffening, which is what you need. I sincerely doubt that you will find any easily. That is a part that the boat manufacturer uses to give flat aluminum some strength. Most boats have four or more on the bottom of the hull. It is often bent into the sheet of aluminum, or added on by welding or rivets. I'll bet an aluminum fabricator could make some for you. Let us know what you find, please. As far as a DIY, I am picturing an aluminum tube, cut lengthwise, and then bent to the contour of the hull. But, even that would need some sort of flange on each side to use to fasten it. regards, richg99 [/QUOTE]
