Get the one above the V-0berth blacked out on the inside. Most of the time at a marina were right below a dock light and the light comes right in a your head, and at first light your up, not good after a late night of partying. We took black vinyl and covered ours, cant ell from the outside.

Mine were off the boat when it got painted also. I guess he paints them and installs them last.

Yep, can't wait to see mine again. Come on Summer!

spilman 03-31-2007 08:32 AM

Well its not summer but 72 & sunny is close enough for me to put the AT in the lake today and test the "new" labbed Hydromotives. I moved to Raleigh from Syracuse, NY so I feel your pain Steve!

RAddiction... I did not take pics during the install. I thought about placement for 6 months....Then after I finally marked the spot I decided to move it back a bit. TOO LATE! the sharpie marks were on the fiberglass and not on the masking tape on the front line...ooops. Well turns out that placement was better anyway...more ventilation overhead when sleeping. So I used a spade bit in the corners and sawsall for straights...cleaned-up edges and poppped it in. The only issue was the thickness was less than the Bomar trim ring so some adjustment was needed there..Not a big deal. All things considered...the worst part was thinking about breaking out the sawsall on my BABY!!

Well, If you want a great economy, great people and awesome weather this place is it. I was so surprised when I first got here...everyone is so nice. In upstate NY most people are so miserable cause its overcast or raining all the time, the economy sucks and everybody takes it out on each other! By the way...the people seem to be more attractive the farther south one goes...for the most part.

Hey if we're all thinking of moving south can we get a group rate on some houses.....all us AT guys should take over a developement, start our own association...Nice trucks, Active Thunder boats and hot women allowed.:evilb: :drink: :D

525s and it is officially on the market.

It was built to promote and now it's the time of year to find her a home.

Non-negotible at $219k.

Or negotiable at $239k.

Whichever makes you feel better!

Real estate in NC is undervalued right now, for the most part...its a good time to purchase investment properties as well as look for a personal residence. I am a builder with one in inventory and should be starting a spec soon...

Ok, so we have a realtor and a builder.

Chris, we need garages large enough for 37 AT's. :D

spilman 03-31-2007 09:46 PM

Have to build em' free standing...I can do that...no problem

camptappakeg69 03-31-2007 09:55 PM

All right now you guys are killing me , Tough to leave the lake though, and don't think my wife would leave her family. The older I get the more I hate the cold. Chris- the a-bay run sounds like a blast will look for the info on it.

60 is good. That should give you enough room to back the boat and truck in and leave them hooked up. :cool:
