You set the bar on detail!!!! Beautiful 28 Ron! We put a cooler were your mat is. Works good as a way to keep things cold and out of the way on a 28. We put the fenders on each side of the cooler. Guess the next step is painting or replacing the fuel pumps and detail the entire storage area and make it look like yours!! Once again beautiful detail Ron.

Default Great Thread!

Subscribed.... Not a Skater but looking forward to playing along! If the lower ever gets out of the shop or the new ones arrive. Either way I am ready to hit the lake - Tickfaw was forever ago.

Yes. I locked up a bearing on the left hand lower. Mine is currently in the shop - has been since Tickfaw. I did purchase a set from a guy out in Havasu - but I have yet to see them or hear that they have even shipped. What gear ratio are your spares? My original set is 1.75. The new to me set are supposed to be 1.62.
I would like to get some seat time before the Texas Outlaw Challenge!

Default New Flush Mount Snaps

Would like to thank Tyson Garvin from Apex for getting me the flush mount twist snaps for my boat! Finally got a chance to install them. IMO they are another must. Nice piece of hardware!
Sorry for oreintation on the pictures. Cannot seem to get them figured out!

Nice to have a spare set laying around. Zero blew one this weekend on the St. Johns,
Sounded like he snapped a drive shaft.
