Re: Fletcher Arrow

Not sure what a "leisure Battery" is...but the added expense of a marine battery is for your own peace of mind...like was stated before, they are designed to take the punishment of the marine environment...maybe if you don't want the added expense of a top quality "house" battery for now, you could get a regular battery as a back-up...

Re: Fletcher Arrow

stoksey... you still working away on this old baby??? I love your patience.. I noticed you asked me above for photos but due to pc mishap I lost all photos so unless there are some on my other threads unfortunately I can't help...

I agree with GT up above a deep cycle is def the best one to get but 2 is better than 1 if you have the room.

Hope you get there soon and if you don't at least the Premiership will keep us occupied over the winter. I've got my dosh on Rodgers doing the job for the Pool , kinda of a lost cause but like your boat , we'll get there in the end that's why we live in hope...

anyway whats left on the list of things to do???

Re: Fletcher Arrow

These are brand new seats from http://www.landandmarine.net in Cannock in staffordshire Excellent service . They are brand new shells and covered to what I wanted so I should think they could do anything you want. they Can be fixed any way you need as they are a fiberglass shell. the chaps Name is David. Top man he was very helpful and I would recommend him to anyone.

Really nice looking seats:

Is that a steel blue or gray color? Looks amazing w/ the red piping, without it that blue/gray color wouldn't be nearly as good looking

PL or PB those bases (after a coat of resin & CSM) to the deck, fillet, tab and cover them w/ a couple layers of cloth & resin, and those should be well stuck seat base mounts
