I was just going to type the same thing. Capped looks SOOOOOOO nice, why put a rub rail on after? People usually say to protect the boat but lets be realistic, 99% of docks rub up against the boat under the rub rail. A rub rail would be useful in places like Florida that have all pylon style docking but on the West coast with docks, I just don't see a need for a rub rail.if you went to the trouble/expense of getting your hull capped why are you putting rub rail back on ?
or do you and I have different definitions of what capping a hull is ?

Same here, I would never cap a boat and then put a rub rail. Had a capped boat for 15 years, only way to go and makes no difference in docking, just pull out the bumpers. Rub rails are hit and miss for protection, they do no enhance the boat....and you are subject to reinserting rubber..
