Re: Broken Bow Light

Definately move the bow light. You've got 2 weeks right? Really, it took my about 30 minutes to mount my lights, and 2 hours to run the lines. One of the easier mods I've done. Now, another interesting proposition is the all in one position/Anchor light that we can put on top of out mast. Hmmm.. Eit...

Re: Stereo Recommendations

Here's my plan for my X: I've recently noticed a number of DVD/CD/IPOD/AM//FM single DIN units on the market lately. My plan is to replace my aged CD/AM/FM single din (which has been acting up lately anyway) for one of these: http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/images/products/8749/8749777_sa.jpg h...

Mast Cap Template

This is a longshot, but does anyone have an outline drawing or maybe an engineer put together a CAD drawing of the outline of the top of the mast. I'm putting together my new mast cap and want to mount it similar to Tahoe Jack with an exact fit plug to screw in from the side of the mast. Thought I w...

Great, i have a few boats on my plate. Can someone clarify. Was it 1999 or 2000 when the boats came with all of the upgrades? I remember reading SOME had a FEW here and there?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys. I HAVE checked the classified ads, and boy is that a cool feature of this site. I also placed a "wanted" ad for my search, and low and behold, already have some e-mails about a couple. This site really is a cool place for a situation like this.

Thanks

BACK!

I'm finally back from deployment. Thought i'd take a spin on the motorcycle to the Des Moines marina, and low and behold. . i see 2 X's staring right at me in the water. One had a "2600" insignia on the bow. Looked prety cool. Also saw a white hull "M" in Mast UP storage at what ...

Sorry about the "Investment" confusion. I use that term (as I'm still in my early 20's) to define a large ammount of money going FROM my pocket to someone else's. . I have no notion of making money, in fact, am perfectly content losing money on the boat. Again, you guys absolutely rule whe...

I agree, i'd start with thinking its oxidation. Get yourself a buffer, a light to medium cut pad, and some 3m compound and give it a whirl, i'll be you are impressed wtih the results.
