When Fountain started mounting the tabs horizontally, didn't they start notching the sides to allow the tabs to be mounted farther outboard? How much was your drive cutout changed?
And I have to ask why the rubrail has been removed. Did you originally have the stainless insert. If not, did you have to replace the complete rubrail or just the white insert to go to the stainless.

As far as the tabs are concerned, they are working with Fountain on where to position them.
The drive was moved up about an inch.
The complete rubrail was changed last year and at that time I choose the chrome insert over the white. They removed that section in the picture in order to fix a spider that was forming.

The boat is documented under the name Anniversary Edition. When I sent it to the painters I gave them a pic of the 35 and said, "Because it's documented under the name "Anniversary Edition" it needs to say "Anniversay Edition", Port of Albany, KY, but do it in the same style as it this photo of the 35.
I got back "20'th" They made up a new decal with the correct name on it and the riggers are goin g to put it on.
