Re: rub rail insert
Pat, it is very heavy and the freight is the killer if ordered from Amel
We managed to get replacement rub-rail inserts from another owner in Martinique.
With best regards,

Gary, I don't understand the cost of $2686. for the insert/scupper ,Maud quoted me about $798. Euro . I agree a painted boat is much easier to keep clean and shiny. The paint is not porous like the gelcoat ,thus does not hold stains. I will use your time for labor to install the scuppers to negotiate a better price before submitting to my insurance company. Thanks, Pat SM Shenanigans

SAV in Dec 2017 for repairs Liahona ( Hull # 335) sustained during Hurricanes
Irma and Maria. The material, including shipping (air freight) to Puerto
Rico was $,2686 US. Removal of the original scupper is very quick (easily
less than one hour), I wasn't present when they inserted the new scupper
but did see it done to Liahona's sister boat, "Cloud Street" (Hull #
333 I believe) done a few weeks after my boat was done. I would estimate
that it took two workers about 4 hrs per side to install the new scupper
material.
