You are welcome, Crazy Canine.

And Marty: Isn't that just wonderful of Mercury that they have kept the entry level so astoundingly affordable?

As we have said in the sixties: "Power to the people!"

TYPHOON

After much talk on the tab location we are going to try this horizontal location that is parallel to the lifting strake. If we don't try new ideas we will always be behind in my opinion. Thank you Kirk for your innovative thinking on always improving you product.
With out Kirk's visions on building a better boat and doing something about it the industries would never change. We need great minds like this to keep us safe and on top of our game. THANK-YOU

Here's another one in the "Details, Details" Dept.

Most racing associations require a single point lifting harness for your boat. This means unsightly lifting eyes that protrude from your deck and trip you when you are not looking.

Possibly, the thought has crossed your mind to use one of those recessed cleats instead of a lifting eye. This works until the boat is lifted, only to crash with a big bang.

Randy's boat will have recessed cleats that double as lifting eyes. But these cleats have lengths of flat stainless steel welded to their bottoms.

Kirk shows how the cleat is inserted into the the deck. Cleat will be affixed with a backing plate. Then, the metal strip at the bottom is bolted to the transom.

These cleats will go into the foredeck. They have longer strips of stainless steel which will be bolted to a bulkhead.

With this stuff under your deck, being on the hook will be an uplifting experience.

TYPHOON

Only the best manufactured boats for me! The proof is in the record. Also 60 plus hard races and never spun out bad or came out of the boat unless it was to get a checkard flag
