No One :(

There was a thread a while back about putting together one using tractor rams, etc. The helm units are pretty easy to come by so all that is left is hoses and plates. Do a search a while back-there were some pretty good suggestions.

try used systems.

I know one marine machine complete kit will be for sale in 2 months . :)

%40 down the list price including helm unit-adjustable tie bar-bravo 1 adapters all necessary hoses+installation equipment.

was bought in april-installed in may-still not used (only a test run 5-10 minutes) but will be used for two-three months.

reason to sell: planning to move on a bigger cat with surface drives and single rudder steering.

note: this is not a promise ; if I can arrange

what do you think?is it interesting?

Dono 07-28-2002 11:37 PM

Damn you did good. Actually i've had my eye on the 28 since sean had it and was hoping it would take you a little longer to sell.:D I'm just still jugling the finances around and job hunting so its still too early for me to pull the trigger yet. But i'm happy for you. Enjoy the bad ass top gun. :)

i sold it to someone i know in town and he may put it up for sale end of september... so give me a shout when your ready im sure i could put a deal together for you... ps i put about 2k into it... labbed props, stereo, vhf, tools, gps

I agree with too old

IMCO seems to be the best value and is just as good if not better than some of the more expensive units.

I added a full sytem to my 35 cig. with TRS bought the external from CP Performance WPM System 2400.00 and then purchased the helm and hoses from a hydraulic supply house 375.00 for all.
