    VP SX-C trim ram hardware kit

    I pulled my boat home from storage last night and found one of the locknuts on the trim rams was broken in half. Most of the trim ram pivot bushings look kind of old so I'm wondering if there is a bushing/hardware kit available. This is for a 1994 VP SX-C.

The bow design only has a small anchor locker in the front. I don't think I could fit much in the...

The boat sits about 10-12" forward of the rear end of the bunks. I know I should just measure total weight and tongue weight, but I...

    1994 Allante 180 - stern drive hits swim platform when tilting

    Hi, I just bought a '94 Campion Allante 180 Special Edition bowrider with Volvo Penta 4.3GL/SX. The rear of the boat has a slight molded "swim platform" across the boat. When I tilt up the stern drive, it hits the underside of the platform before it is all the way up. The bottom of the leg is...
