Elevation Marine for me also 👍. 36" wide Bay Series. They tweaked my rod holders more vertical also. 60 QT Grizzly cooler underneath mine.

I actually think the welding is fine. Welding thin wall aluminum tubing without access to the backside is not always easy. Aluminum needs to be relatively clean prior to welding. Any impurities on the inside of the tube get consumed in the weld puddle and it doesn't flow very well. You almost...

?? How come? I'm not disputing but wondering why?

I think for re-powering an 1800/1801, the DF140BG is the way to go. Going on my 3rd season and I've been very satisfied with it. The slight weight increase is un-noticeable. For this boat, its more than enough power. Tops out at 40mph, super quiet and is great on gas. What's not to like. 😁

Welcome aboard! Nice looking boat!

Unless you have other issues, there isn't much to do other than fill in the old holes with epoxy. The bigger issue for me was the discoloration under the seat base. I ended up taping off the area and re-coated the deck with gelcoat before mounting the leaning post. It's not a perfect color match...

Agree! Seat height from the original cooler seat was lousy, at least for us short guys. I think most of us went with the aftermarket leaning post as a fix. The Yeti cooler looks good though. Is there a backer inside the console to resist pulling out the hardware?

"winter in SoCal" = nice summer in New England...🤭

Shrink wrapper here too. $600+ for the gun, $200+ for 150' of wrap and $100 for tape, strapping, buckles and vents. My 1800 uses 25' of wrap per season so I'm good for 6 seasons. $900 / 6 = $150 per year. But... from what I've noticed, the gun loses little value over time, so selling it later...

Right inside the door.

My thoughts exactly! I'm not comfortable WOT unless it's perfectly flat.

I have the Fly-By-Wire. Mine was slightly over that $ but well worth it. :love: 40MPH on the button @ 6100 with the stock Aluminum 3X14X21.

Clean and simple!

Although I only have an 1800, my neighborhood gas station has a slight slope where you pull up next to the pump. If I pulled in with the bow slightly down, I would have trouble filling. If I pull in from the other direction, bow slightly up, no problem. I didn't change anything but I can get 2...

Looks like they did a nice job! 👍 You can see the heat marks from where the baffles were welded from the inside.

Exactly! That crack would be what you would expect from the constant flexing of the aluminum panels. It starts from the inside where there is incomplete fusion at the root of the weld. Also, I'm curious as to what this looks like from the inside?

Did you get an actual weight on it by chance?

I had to wait but I went with white(DF140BG). The one good thing about waiting was when I ordered in Sept of 2021, the dealer wasn't sure if I would get a 2021 or 2022 model. I ended up with a 2022.

Search "decals" on this site... or, Cecil Marine or Great Lakes Skipper. I got mine from Cecil.

Mine was a V-4 and the carbs came off as a pair I believe.
