Three hour install with the help of a 5 year old and a 10 year old (for you non-parents – that’s a joke), and two neighbors that cannot shut up and a cell phone that rang constantly and I mean constantly. If I did it again, 1 hour max.
Test run great, even my son said he liked it – unprompted. There are some hooks and tricks and I will be pulling together a pix page. I took several with the digital. PM if you want the pix and a call on some of the more interesting parts that slowed me down. I did call Larry once and I put it together a little off spec but it is solid and the trim plate was a non-issue. Do not pay your dealer to do this (This from a guy that lets his dealer do about everything).
I did get in a hurry at the dock and now need a little repair on the nose thanks to a public dock with a #$%^ piece of metal sticking out the dock. The chip is the size of your thumb to the knuckle and to the fiberglass, but the glass itself is undamaged. The location is right under the nose rail. You have to look to find it. The color is white. Can I get a repair kit someplace? Trailering to the dealer for this would be a pain. I’ll be calling him for suggestions in a few days.
I’m so pissed. I was 45 minutes late cus I hauled some I/O with a dead battery to a dock at the other end of the lake. No good deed goes unpunished.
I’m so pissed.

Oh, the boat turned over on crank one - after sitting all winter.
Did I ever mention my theory that self inflicted wounds hurt the worst?
I'm so pissed.
