Thanks guys. Enjoying it so far. Already started on some of the upgrades / repairs - ordering perko stuff and new keys from Phil. Stereo guys coming over next week to get it dialed in. It’s at the painter / fiberglass guy now to address hull chips and whatnot. Then he’ll touch up paint color sand and buff. The process begins.

Nope. Thank god it didn’t break while going down the freeway. It snapped while my wife was pulling it up the ramp. The truck had made it to the flat part and the boat was still on the decline part. I just heard a loud snap and saw it broke. I hooked it and went back to my house about 2 miles away and grabbed a steal hitch.
And yes, absolutely thank god for safety chains. Saved it from rolling back down the ramp! No more aluminum hitches. Though this hitch is what I used to tow the gun for 8 years without a problem.
