Look what just happened:

A brat wrote with a question about rub rail repair. He got the usual quick answers and advice. But then...this is what happened next:

Joel,

Sorry to hear about your rubrail. If you can get access from the inside then you can just drill out the existing holes and re-rivet, however if no access, just fill in the existing holes with 5200 sealant and re drill new holes an inch or so away from the old holes. You will need to make new holes in your rubrail but that will not be a problem, and you can either secure with screws or rivets.

I hope that this information is helpful and don't hesitate to contact me direct with any further questions or comments.

Scott


The new C-Dory factory chimed in very quickly with good advice straight from the horse's mouth!! How refreshing. Thank you Scott.

How many years has it been since that happened?
 
i might be missing something here, but isn't the finished "look" worth something? in other words, if drill new holes in the rub rail, one inch away from the existing holes, what will the overall appearance look like? i wouldn't think to good. i tend to notice things like that, although, many would not so maybe i'm just annal.
have a great day,
pat
 
Pat,

The new holes will be covered by the rubber insert from the outside. On the inside, the rub rail holes tend to be covered by sealant. My guess is that you wouldn't even notice the "extra holes".

Barry,

I saw that too, (Scott's posting) and along with you and, I'm guessing, many others did notice that quick response.

From another recent thread ..........


"Congratulations on your new purchase I know that you will be very pleased with your boat. Please feel free to contact me at anytime with questions or comments at scott@tritonmarine.us or 360-393-3283. Again welcome to the family and for a boat name how about the "Ravin"?"

Sincerely,

Scott
 
A PM Scott today received a response in less than 12 hours. Actually less, but I didn't get back on the site for 12 hours.

Thanks Scott, and Thanks for making the change to the new, adequately sized and spec'd lazarette covers.

We appreciate your presence.

More kudos for Scott and the new Triton Team!

I needed some gelcoat numbers for color matching. Scott came through. The numbers were for the fairly common C-Dory white and the dark blue. I forgot to ask about the inside grey splattery looking stuff on the floors, but if I need it I know where to go.

The C-Dory factory that was there when I bought the "Jenny B" was friendly, personable, and helpful - but they were NOT computer literate nor do I think they fully understood the potential within C-Brats. So far, I'm confident Triton is a giant step in the right direction.

Where do the luxury car manufacturers advertise? PGA golf tournaments. If one has a great product, the most effective advertising is when it can be focused on present and potential owners. Those guys have taken a leap of faith taking on C-Dory in a down economy, but I think we'll be looking at a growing concern because they know their business, know how to market, and certainly appear to genuinely care about the owners! C-Dory dealers ultimately benefit as well. The factory doesn't compete with the dealers like they used to because it's now become a dealer asset.
