If your interested I may just have the silent thunder swim platform laying around pretty soon if you wanted to upgrade from the platform you have. Just a thought. Shoot me a pm if interested. It’s off my twin 89 272 sr1

PM Sent. I rode with my brother in his this weekend, and I really would like them to be the same.

I need the measurement for the bow stop anchor loop to the bottom of the transom to set up a new trailer. I have a 1988 272 SR1. Can anyone help me?

I can measure mine if you take pictures of the spots you are talking about.

I do not have my boat to provide you with a picture of the measurements that I need. The measurement would be from the front Eye-
loop on the bow to the bottom of the transom where the drain plug is, it should be roughly 25 to 26 feet in length but I do not know the exact measurement or close to the proper measurement to set up the bow stop on my new trailer so I can pick up this boat that I just purchased.

Heya Smoke!I shot you a PM, let me know if this turns out to be the case? I would like to get one if I can make it happen. The only thing keeping my boat from being an identical twin of my brothers, haha!

Oh, I wouldn't have known. I wonder if they did some work on the engines at some point...

I believe they're factory on Volvo. The motors may have been replaced at some point.

Mercruiser motors will have a serial number tag on the even side of the block above the starter.
