I also was going to fill in that gap with self leveling black 5200 ( yes there are different types) I used it on a non boat project and it worked really well. BUT Smackman suggested on another post where I proposed the filling that I might get issues when the rub rail 'rubs' and needs to slides a little , this would then tear up the filler, flex seal,5200.
Have you had any experience with that yet Jay? I still like the idea.
Cheers Warren
HI Warren, well I guess it is still early days (end of October 2017) but as I was washing the boat yesterday I did a check of the rub rail, couldn't see any areas where the flexseal /rub rail joint "failed" , everything appears tight.

Joe has left us

I didn't realize that Joe hadn't been posting here so I reached out to him to learn what happened. I'm not going to go into his reasons other than to say that there are two sides to every story and I'm not going to be favoring one over the other.

I've enjoyed watching his refit, I don't think that I would chose to do some of the things he is doing but he certainly makes me think!

And I'll be checking in on him from time to time at his new site http://motorcityboatwerks.weebly.com
