1997 Challenger 1800 Rub Rail Insert

[Hunter77ah]

Hello,

I bought a 1997 Challenger 1800 as a project. The PO removed the rub rail insert so other than some measurements, I am not sure what style will fit. Anyone know where I can find a replacement? I'd prefer gray, but black looks to be the only insert color that TACO makes. I've searched the forums and can't figure out which one will work without replacing the entire rub rail.

Thanks in advance!

Call boat outfitters they are the ones who supplied the manufacturers with rub rails

Thanks. I tried them, but they said that they didn't have data going back that far. They told me to reach out to Seadoo/BRP.

I have a customer bringing in a challenger for some carb and exhaust work I will see what I can come up with

I’m thinking it’s taco v12-4144 but if anyone could confirm, I’d appreciate it.

Where are you located? I am parting out a 97 Challenger 787 single engine. Maybe it is the same?

SE Michigan. The challenger rail would be too short for the 1800, but if you could take a side view (cross section) picture of it, I'd greatly appreciate it.

This is the only side pic I have.

Do you still have this rub rail insert?

To close this thread, the 4144 is a perfect fit.
