this last one stores in the engine compartment, so it is out of sight.

Its in the works, I will have it installed in 2weeks, this guy uses 7/8ths Stainless tubing and all supports are out of the tubing, no straps, 3 Connections per side to the gelcoat, I am surprised that no backplating is done, it will get tested, and I will keep ya posted, but I do like the idea of puttn it back in the boot on the rough days to be safe.
