I have the same model but with 4 seats.. Can't remember what the model is.. I really want to remove the second seat from the back to give me some floor space. I don't see where you did any bracing to replace the bracing from the origional seat.. What were your thoughts on it? Thanks!

Sounds like we all went through the lesson then.. :D I went ahead and replaced the cracked 6 gallon tank with a smaller 3 gallon.. Makes it easier to just pull out and stick in the shed at the end of the day.. Shed is climate controlled to 78ºF so no worries of getting too hot...

I bet his name was David... :) That seems like a pretty broad statement to me.. But I guess they know best..

But why is my question.. I get that it will take longer.. And I understand the self discharge idea, but 4 amps is still pretty good in my mind...

I've included a link I'll host for the Manual in PDF form for that charger.. It says max of Group 24 or 75ah.. You can join both outputs for 8 amps.. So you can double the size then to 150ah... https://putfile.synced-up.com/putfile/Guest/16082.pdf

Yeah, I saw that too.. Just got off the phone with Guest and they are suposedly sending a manual via email about it.. I asked the tech guy about the size issue.. He said try to follow the 10% rule.. I asked what the downside of that was.. He said more wear and tear and possible premature...

I always kept it closed.. However, I had a crack form along the seam on my previous tank.. A couple gallons ended up sitting in the back of the boat for a few days saturating my paint nicely... :) I'm assuming the pressure had built up enough to cause a stress crack in the tank.. Anyhow, a...

Does anyone know anything about this model? https://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?type=product&cmCat=Related_IPL_016459&id=0056609020633a I can't find out much about it on the guest website.. But looks like a dual 4 amp charger for $50..

Yeah, I am planning on a 2x2 of wood, or 1x2 of aluminum channel if I can find some at work, running from the back seat to the 2nd seat on each side.. It will run right through all 3 of the brackets on the side for the benches.. I really think it won't be too much of an issue.. The sides of...

I unfortunately do not have ribs all the way up the side.. Here is a pic of my boat.. Front seat was utilized for some bow storage..

I saw this on another guys boat.. Thought it may be a good option to removing my middle seat.. (I have 4 benches, the 2nd from the back) I would run one down each side from seat to seat.. Then take the floatation foam from my seat and cut it to where it would fit under the 2x4.... I would...

I've had luck with progressive.. They paid a tow bill on a set of Jet Skis I had just purchased and was bringing home.. Cost over $300 to get it towed.. Middle of the night, special rollback.. But they paid.. :) And it's like $100 a year for my 14'er

What size boat? To get higher RPM's you would tend to drop prop pitch.. But you will lose some top end speed most likely.....

Ok, that's what I thought.. Just didn't want to get taken off guard by some weird law of physics that the boat will fall apart going down the road on the trailer.. Hehehe...

Am I trying to keep the sides of the boat from opening up or pushing in? Or both? :)
