The changes look great Bones! We've made hundreds of changes since 2003/2004 though.
|
Brian...I'm guessing you guys have resisted making the really big changes that I've mentioned previously and some I haven't. I understand mold changes in an economy like we've been facing are not likely.
|
We've made several mold changes as well. But no anchor lockers in ATs!! They make great projectiles, especially when you get past the Baja breakwater and into AT water! :lolhit::evilb::drink:
I suggest a Box Anchor and keep it in a duffle bag under the back seat or wherever like many of us do. Either that, or arrive about 10 minutes later after a buddy sets anchor first. Once you use a Box Anchor, you won't go back to any other kind anyhow--I guarantee it. |
I like a guy with a good sense of humor! I'll send you a pic of a properly designed anchor locker that even a Cig couldn't turn into a projectile! While you were making mold changes did you move the foot rests to some place that somebody other than Wee Man can actually use? And a sliding cabin door with integral steps to climb to the deck would be a game changer! And finally, flipping the channel in the front deck would retain structural integrity of deck, gain 3 inches of headroom in cabin and eliminate duck pond behind rear hatch after rain/washing.

Dash is totally different. Footrest is totally different. Sliding doors have been done for years.
Proper way to access the bow is go up the backseat and up the walk rail. Send a passenger up there anyway, no free lunch. The channel is not getting flipped. It's designed for headroom when sitting on the couch, not standing in the middle. Besides, everyone already thinks the AT deck derived from a Sonic that had a little too much vacuum bagging. (Totally false by the way.). Pat's Pond is by design anyhow. You don't need a bucket when washing the deck. Squirt a little soap in there when spraying down the deck, and swab your brush in the pond. (Try it, works like a charm.) |
Pats pond is just screaming for some Koi and a fountain!
I'll be counting on seeing all the updates in Miami! Most of my riders are too top heavy to go up the walk around and that for the record...is a good thing ;-) |

Screw the anchor locker. That is nothing but a problem waiting to happen! |

Navigating thru the featherbeds in the Keys and flipping the screen back and forth to look at gauges is hard on the drives....:eek:

I agree with the others about the anchor locker. Probably not a good idea for Hammersticks. Does anybody remember seeing that video on here from Destin a few years ago when the Sunny had his bow locker come open and it shot his anchor over the transom coming in the inlet ??? Convinced me not to want one ever!!! |
It all comes down to proper design gentlemen. I've been in the aerospace world for 30 yrs with stuff flying on every US and European airframe made including the shuttle...keeping a 15 pound slug of metal in a cabinet is not rocket science.

On another note, seems to me I remember the 43 deck plug have'n a anchor locker and I questioned that decision then:eek: |
Corey, I think you have been highjacked!!!:lolhit:
|
When was last 37 built with a traditional bolster setup? All the new ones I see are side by side bolsters. Does anybody have pics of the last standard style boats dash?
|
I know the blue-green 33, that I believe is in NY, is a split setup.
|
What year, any pics?? Was that the last split setup built??
|
Your boat was probably the last center entry 37AT. It's been a while.
The 33 belonging to AJ in Delaware is different than any of the other ATs. It has a little "JR" touch to it. The most recent center entry boat is Steve's Red 33 that is up in the great frozen tundra. The rest of us call it Wisconsin. |
I drove an '09 side entry with whipples (jeffs ride) and although efficient use of space...little to cozy to take the brother in law etc. out for a beer
