He just likes the best of life as we have learned. Yum. You should see the side plate shower cover in person.

Sweet.

I love how everyone has their own path to perfection. Be it splatter or highly polished.

I think Fl. Sportsman called it One Man`s Dream Boat. Gal`s too. Octomom, not so much.

Cheers,

Will these smaller 13.5" wheels steer a boat with mechanical steering efficiently or are they designed for hydraulic ? I notice my 15" wheel is hard to turn @ slow speed & I'm thinking a smaller wheel would require even more effort.

ok thats just a disgusting display of craftsmanship! unless you plan on building one for me than stop it. or at least show me how i can do it. :)

Hey Fred, Is that a Gen 2 HDS 5 you have on your console ? I'm considering purchasing one & was wondering If it would fit & be flush mounted on the dash panel of the 18'

Did anyone answer this? I am curious as I would like to down size too and I currently have cable steering. I hope to do it and get a new control box. I just never thought of the difference in the effort to turn the motor. Currently my steering feels like its hydraulic it is so smooth... But that is not do to me that is the way the set up came from the PO. I have done very little to the helm.
