Wow...looks very nice...What did you use on your stainless rubrail..Also did you do any buffing to aluminum windshield frames and if so what did you use???
One more question too....where did you purchase stainless rub rail to wrap around your finished enclosed transom
Again..looks great

You might try rubrails.com for a rubrail. I was able to get a one piece black base and then the SS inserts in 10' lengths for a very good price.

Its standard 1'1/4 stainless Taco rub rail insert without the plastic. I have used this before and it really looks custom. Any boat dealer can sell it. I think taco will even sell it to you direct

Way to go Jboatdoc, Looking good!
I really like the porta-bracket - it really shows off the vdr Your motor refurb looks awesome, too.
I'd love to see some performance numbers with your bracket and that motor. Nice Work!
