    Gunnels coming up

    After 22 years my Mako 161 flats is showing some wear. Any idea what it takes to fix this? Both sides showing the same condition. Rub rail feels firmly in place. Any advice is appreciated. Will likely have to pay a shop to fix but want to know what I should expect. Thanks.
