Bro, mine is at Finish Line Marine as of yesterday. I hope to get it back next week. I keep having the water pressure tube blow out of the head and soak the motor.

E-tec? I've read on the hull truth about that happening a lot. I guess it's better to happen now than when the warranty runs out.

I have a 90 Merc hung on it. I tried to fix it twice but it keeps blowing off and the sensors shut my RPM's down to 2,000. I guess the warranty will cover it.

Thanks for the welcome everyone :D

Tunnel Flats model... you ain't going to recognize it if you saw it before. I took off the leaning post and replaced it with a raised cooler flip-flop seat, added a K top and a wading ladder. I haven't taken any pics of it since I got it back from Espandre.

Cool! What did the K-top set you back? I've been kicking around the idea.

The top was $1700 but it is a modified K/T top with pipe running to the deck in front of the console and I had him put some rod holders on it. My old Shoalwater had a K Top and it put way too much torque on the console when pulling it at highway speeds... this new one is stout! I have to remember to take the rods out of it when pulling it out of the water though. I almost lost a Waterloo and my favorite old Falcon rod to a tree limb last week :eek:

I thought that you could get the K-Top that folded forward for transport.

You can but I liked this one better. No pipe in the deck at the helm and he used the 4 mounting places that the old grabrail was mounted to and the pipe to the deck is out of the way in the front of the console. It doesn't budge.

A Shoalwater Navy for sure. Unclehandy and Blackbeard have one too. My neighbor down the street has put me on notice that his is up for sale. Going to take pics today.

Welcome Blake! Glad you made it. Sounds like you're suffering from the Gander Mountain boat curse. Hopefully Finish Line will get it right.
