Mike Nass in Canada made them. They are great. Kinetic animation made the decals.

Narrow river so we used no positive trim, notice you never see them move. 34 miles each way. Never exceeded 114. Mostly 100 to 105

boat looks great. mine has the rear seats all the way to the back of the boat with no access to the pumps and all without tilting or removing the seat.. a real PIA. planning on a re-rig next fall to move them ahead like yours and the newer 28's.

I moved mine forward, then cut the race hatch to fit. Added screw jack for lifting.
