In a previous post, I asked about suggestions for a rubrail on my
Nautilus 8 dinghy. Well, I found an old piece of garden hose, split it
lengthwise, drilled holes every 3" and used cable ties to hold it on.
It seems to work well and actually looks good. Total cost was $6.00
for cable ties. Hardest part was splitting the hose with my pocket
knife.

reading your reply - an idea struck me (I need to learn to duck faster!)
instead of garden hose use that black soaker hose - thinner and would be
easier to split. Also a nice flat black finish
