Fabricated oil tank mounts. The Mercs are poor quality.

Hey I'll make yo a deal on mine. No need to rerigg:lolhit:

Narrow river so we used no positive trim, notice you never see them move. 34 miles each way. Never exceeded 114. Mostly 100 to 105

That's the most unique carpet I have seen in awhile. Is that three separate pieces? Pretty clean look

It is not carpet, it's Sea-Deck, a rubber product that sticks down. Tyler at Castaway Customs, scans the boat, then adds your design ( Skater, teak look, etc.), and a two axis router cuts it out. It is a little warmer than white fiberglass but much softer to step on and nothing slides around. Very durable stuff. We have a Black Sea Deck pad between the engines where you climb back into the boat.

Skate, I do re rigs or modifications.

yours is awful nice but I think I'm stuck with mine for awhile :lolhit:.

Zero, I have the race hatch for mine and that's what I had thought about doing...think I might move my seat a little farther than you tho. I'd like enough room for fenders and a cooler to fit. How far forward did you move yours?

The seat was moved forward 21 inches. We haul a 4 foot fender and luggage on overnight trips back there. Any farther forward and sponson access is limited.

thanks...i didn't think about the side access. I'll have to measure and see what I think I'd be happy with.

Looks good, decent sound reduction.
