Anyone have side mirrors on their boat other than race boats?

I put a pair on a 36 Skater i did for a customer. There actually pretty handy, I like the ones on the race boat when they are adjusted properly. I do think they work better in sit down boats though. Something where you are lower and closer otherwise you'd need some kinda giant truck mirrors to be able to see anything lol. We use aftermarket ones for motorcycles, there like thirty buck a pair on ebay anymore.

man, i dont think theres a prettier deck then the Nor-Techs . . . . nice shot Jay.


X6 you'll like side views then in your sit down boat. They really do help once ya get the hang of 'em

U don't find that they sag out of adjustment when its rough?
My past bikes always lost adj when coming down off wheelies or even rough roads.

The mirrors on some boats look cool & def serve purpose...I'd just hate to always be F ing with em.

i wonder if the garman units have a tv screen option to where you can add a back up camers so you can watch whats going on behind you..

We tried tv screens, they worked pretty good but didn't last long. That was about eight years ago though and they may be better now, if nothing else they are certainly cheaper these days.
