Hey Chris,
No mine is currently dark blue with white unfinished filler spots! I think you will like the ride when you get a chance to work on your boat. I got Don to make up better drawings than what I received and with those was able to install it. We used blocking wood to hold the bracket in place to mark holes and bolt up. The hole shot was great - the boat stayed level and just shot out of the water [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] The 135 Ficht rudes have plenty of power - at least for me! How's the house doing?

I'd bet it was your boat. He said it had filler spots and I believe it had your name on it. He probibly got the color wrong (he's old and fat).
I am accually thinking of epoxying the bracket on my closed transom. That way there would be no seems and no place for water seep in between. Then paint it with the boat and it should look like it was molded on original.

Chris,
I took the boat to Hermco to do some warranty work on the bracket for about a week. The people making the bracket tried something different that didn't work. Potter was very quick to step up and fix the problem for me. Don did very nice work. Are you going to use a single or twin engines? Bill One is good, two is better, My wife wants to keep both...go figure!! |

Gen, I am going with twin's, more than likely 150"s.
What was the deal with the recall?

Chris,
They had tried to bond the platform to the back section. It cracked along the seam. Don did a great job repairing it so it looks perfect. Mine was the only one this way so yours should be fine. I think there is a shelf life for these [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I was looking for 150s also but got a great deal on the 135s and they are plenty powerful enough [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Bill how many is too many? |

Gen, I was talking with D.H. yesterday and he told me what happened with the 5200 thing. That was the only one that they did that to. What was the manufacturer thinking [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] At least Mr. P was was quick to have it fixed.
Yeah so, I was trying to talk Don into flying in for that AC show. I don't think he'll make it. Though, I think I came close when I enticed him with gambling, women and booze. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
