Installing the Rub Rail and Decals - Boston Whaler Restoration Part 16

Here's a video on how to install the rub rail on a Boston Whaler boat restoration. I also apply the official Boston Whaler decals in the appropriate locations. There was at least one mistake made along the way and I cover how to avoid making the same mistake when installing a boat rub rail. These whalers used a 3 part rub rail system. I opted to use only two of the parts which gives me the look and protection I was looking for.
I used a heat gun to help with radiusing the vinyl rail. Two thing about using the heat gun, use the lowest setting if possible to not deform or damage the rail and use gloves!
