: Other recommendations?

my personal belief is that rubrails are put on by designers who don't paddle kayaks. looks like they're more used to canoes, sailboats, and runabouts.

try rolling one w/ nice hard 1/4 x3/4 or more rubrails or doing low sculls and they or your knuckles will come real off fast. save the bucks for an extra glass seam layer. if the join is ugly maybe a thin line of paint.
