We have a 1990 Marine Trader that we purchased 5 months ago. It has NO rub rails. We are liveaboards and in a marina without floating docks. The wood is getting chewed up going in and out the slip for cruising and pumpouts (sitting in the slip in no problem, fenders are fine). We are getting ready to refinish the wood this winter (we are in Florida) and you can be assured we will be putting run rail on our boat.
