I would like to get a flamed,billet aluminum steering wheel for my boat.Does anyone know who I could call to get one?

I think it would look awesome in this boat.

Splashing the hull means you make a mold from an existing boat, and then start selling it as your own.

Try Billet Specialties for the billet flames, I've seen what you are talking about before - you just need to do some digging. It's out there.

My only complaint with the boat is that I wish the deck was a bit more rigid. Take a big wave hard and you can see some deck flexing. Anyone else notice this? Georgian Bay is often rough, so you guys running in smooth water may not have ever noticed this.

We dont get that much chop but in 1 to 2 foot seas its very solid but thats lake water. can you make a good mold doing that? i wondered if it could be done



:cool:

I've already been in 4 footers. That's about the limit for the boat I think, it starts getting uncomfortable.

You can make an excellent mold doing that - it happens A LOT with all the westcoast boat builders. You're basically just using an existing hull as the plug.

4 footer huh....I cant even imagine a 26 or 28 foot boat would take those very comfortably.

On our lake,on a very busy day we will have good 3 footers.I call it the Maytag lake because the water looks like what you'd find in a maytag washing machine.All I do is put the tabs 1/2 way down and cut right thru it and if the water is really,really bad tabs go all the way down and it's like riding on rails.

Get your trim tabs...night and day difference.I thought all 502's came w/trim tabs.

freshwaterfiend 09-10-2007 02:29 PM

Apparently they were an option. All 502's came with hydraulic IMCO steering though. Tabs coming this winter for sure.

Yeah, to really go fast on Georgian Bay all the time, you need a minimum 30 feet, and if you can go bigger, do it. Heh.
