This pole wasn't brass, but they did the entire poker run with it in place......it was a big hit with the girls (an guys!@) at the dock party.

apparently they removed the deck hatch and secured this to the floor below. Then made a new hatch that held the pole in place.

John, Got a chance to take a look at your F-4 today at the Chicago show. I must much nicer in person!! Lots of unique touches that really set the boat off.

By the way I looked all over for the pole..........

Thanks. I always thought it is a boat you have to spend a little time on to appreciate some of the details in it.

Was there quite a few people at the show today?

Not many. But I always hit the first day and get there when the doors open. I spent about 3.5 hours there and not many people the entire time. But very typical for that time period.

Concept was there this year and must say was pretty impressed with the 36 CC. They offered a pretty nice package for the $$.

I always thought the Concept was one of the nicest CC boats available.
