I have everything ready to go for a test splash. Got to fire back off and test steering and possibly bleed out any air etc and just do one more good check of EVERYTHING before she pulls out of the shop maybe this week! Fingers crossed! She’s not as cool or as nice as any of yalls but I’m proud of this roller coaster of a boat LOL
BTW, I have heard running 2 tie bars can cause binding. Not 100% sure though.

I thought the same thing. My toolmaker brain saw that, and the fact that they are two different lengths, I started doing hypothetical trig in my head and.... I can't imagine they don't conflict with each other, imparting significant stress on all parts involved.
87CigCafe,
Are you still running both tiebars?
Thanks. Brad.
