TACO Marine SuproFlex Medium Semi-Rigid Vinyl Rub Rail, 1.98 in x 1.23 in

Overview

The TACO Marine SuproFlex is a medium semi-rigid vinyl rub rail profile measuring 1.98 in x 1.23 in for hull sides on many 22 to 30 ft center consoles, bay boats, and similar boats. It gives the hull edge a finished profile while helping absorb the routine bumps that happen around docks, pilings, trailers, and rafting situations.

This SuproFlex profile uses a co-extruded construction with a semi-rigid backing and a harder 95-durometer face. The shape includes shock-absorbing channels for impact resistance, and the coilable form makes it easier to work around hull curves with minimal heating and no pre-forming.

The rub rail pairs with TACO Marine V12-9992 Flexible Overlay Vinyl Insert, sold separately. It is supplied as one continuous coil, which helps reduce joints along the hull and keeps installation cleaner on longer runs.

Key features

• Medium SuproFlex semi-rigid vinyl rub rail profile measuring 1.98 in x 1.23 in.
• Co-extruded construction combines a semi-rigid backing with a harder 95-durometer front face.
• Shock-absorbing channels help manage contact from docks, pilings, and close-quarters handling.
• Coilable profile requires no pre-forming and only minimal heating during installation.
• Lighter than traditional vinyl rub rail, which helps with handling during long perimeter installations.
• Pairs with V12-9992 Flexible Overlay Vinyl Insert, sold separately, for the completed rub rail assembly.
• Supplied in one continuous coil for cleaner installation and convenient shipping.
• Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Variants

This SuproFlex rub rail is offered in multiple configurations for color and coil length. The profile size and rub rail construction remain the same across these variants.

The color affects the finished look at the hull edge, while the length determines how much continuous rub rail is available for the installation. Measure the full perimeter carefully, including transom and bow curves, before matching the coil length to the boat.

• V11-9993BKA60D: Black, 60 ft length. This option suits installations where a black rub rail matches existing trim, hull graphics, or insert color plans.
• V11-9993BKA80D: Black, 80 ft length. The longer black coil is useful when the boat needs more continuous coverage around the hull perimeter.
• V11-9993WHA80D: Arctic White, 80 ft length. The Arctic White finish gives a cleaner visual match for many light-colored hulls and deck lines.

Installation and fit

For a clean result, dry-fit the rub rail around the hull before fastening so the bends, joint locations, and insert path can be checked. The semi-rigid back helps the rail sit against the hull, while the flexible form makes it practical for common bow and stern curves without heavy pre-shaping.

This profile is a good match for boat owners, yards, and refit teams replacing worn rub rail or building out a medium-size hull edge protection system. It is especially relevant for fishing boats and bay boats that see regular dock contact, washdowns, trailering, and saltwater use.

Compatibility and use

The matching overlay insert is not included with this rub rail and should be selected separately as V12-9992. Fasteners, end caps, and installation hardware should be matched to the hull material, rub rail layout, and the installer’s fastening plan.

Because rub rail fit depends on hull shape and total perimeter, the most important checks are profile size, color, total length, insert compatibility, and how the rail will terminate at the transom or existing hardware.
