I have a set of stainless and they are heavy ! As you know the whole Jackplate is not stainless , only the angle that bolts to boat , the rest of it is alum . I need them my engines are 505 and dont want them falling off . My plates are brand new and i'm going to take them apart and ship out all alum parts to get hard coat anidize

I thought about that too, hats off to you for going extra mile, I'm sure it will pay off

Do you know what your boat weighs fully rigged ?

It was 6,000 rigged with the triples and old rigging. It will be interesting to see what it tips the scales at with the extra engine, battery and assorted rigging and weight gain from the bulkhead repairs and two gallons of paint that Dave applied.:popcorn:

Bill at Diamond Performance was nice enough to find and send me this polished steering shaft bezel for the dash of my Skater. It's a beautiful piece. He also came up with a connection for the rigid carbon fiber dash panels (in colors). This has been a great project to work on. There is alot available when it comes to parts and accessories out there, the internet is helpful but we need people like that who can steer you in the right directions.
Thanks Bill! :ernaehrung004:

Hey that thing is cool, gonna look good on there. :cool:

Thanks Dave!

I like a lot of the high end parts available to the performance oriented markets...not just for the bling but also for their abuse-capacity and ease of use.

That helm is awesome!!

Another one I personally like is this:

Next up the trailer,we will be lifting the boat of the trailer and sending out for sand blast.
