    Insane good tower of power fuel economy?

    I agree with Chris, I would also recommend the flotation foam. you literally are talking 2# per cubic foot, so the weight of an 12 pack of beer is all that you are talking.

    New Deck boat Factory Metal Flake

    you can order custom paint from companies such as Chris Craft, Nautique, Wellcraft, and others. check with what ever company you are intersted in if they do custom colors. it will cost you more, and you will have to wait a while for the boat.

    early ones do not have the slide hammer threaded hole, later ones do. pull the keeper bolts, drive the pins inward with a brass drift.
