TACO Marine SuproFlex Medium Semi-Rigid Vinyl Rub Rail, 2 in x 29/32 in

Overview

The TACO Marine SuproFlex Semi-Rigid Vinyl Medium rub rail is a 2" x 29/32" boat rub rail made for hull-side protection with a cleaner finished edge than a plain extrusion. The profile is co-extruded vinyl, with a rigid backing and a softer front section that helps absorb dock bumps, piling contact, and everyday impacts around the gunwale.

This medium SuproFlex profile is supplied in continuous coil lengths across the variant range, including 60', 80', and 88' options. It works with matching TACO Marine insert options, giving builders and owners a finished rub rail system that can suit different hull colors and trim layouts.

The semi-rigid construction is useful during refits because it needs minimal heating for tighter bends and does not require pre-forming. That helps when following curved hull shapes on center consoles, bay boats, fishing boats, and other vessels where a rub rail has to look straight, sit flush, and take contact in real use.

Key features

• 2" x 29/32" medium SuproFlex profile for boat hull-side rub rail replacement or new installation.
• Co-extruded vinyl construction combines a rigid backing with a soft durometer front section for impact absorption.
• Shock-absorbing channels help the rail take contact from docks, pilings, and rafting alongside other boats.
• Requires no pre-forming and only minimal heating for bends, which helps reduce installation effort on curved hulls.
• Available in multiple colors and coil lengths to match common refit and build requirements.
• Pairs with compatible TACO Marine V12-0307 insert options for a finished trim appearance.
• Specified for #10 fasteners installed on 4" centers.
• Made in the USA and covered by a 5-year limited warranty.

Variants

This SuproFlex rub rail range varies by color, coil length, and matching insert option. The available colors include Black, Frosty White, Gray, and Arctic White, with lengths of 60', 80', and 88' depending on the configuration.

The profile size remains the same across this range at 2" x 29/32". Insert compatibility varies by configuration, with options listed for V12-0307CP, V12-0307BP, V12-0307GRD, and V12-0307CP80, so the insert selection should be checked against the selected color and length before installation.

Installation and fit

This rub rail is meant to follow the outside curve of the hull and create a protective contact point between the boat and docks, pilings, trailers, and neighboring vessels. The longer coil lengths help reduce visible joints on many installations, while the semi-rigid vinyl still has enough flexibility to work around normal hull curves.

For a clean installation, the mounting surface should be sound, fair, and prepared before fastening. The specified #10 fastener pattern on 4" centers gives the rail consistent support along the hull side, especially in areas that see frequent docking contact or movement from vibration and wave action.

Use on board

This rub rail is a practical fit for owners replacing worn, cracked, stained, or impact-damaged vinyl rail, as well as builders finishing a medium-profile hull edge. It is especially relevant on boats that see regular dockside use, fishing trips, marina handling, and washdown routines where the hull edge takes repeated contact.

The different color choices let the rail blend with common hull and deck finishes without changing the basic function of the profile. Black gives a more traditional contrast line, Frosty White and Arctic White suit lighter hulls and decks, and Gray works well where a softer neutral trim line is preferred.
