Why are your tabs mounted aprox 10in to 12in inboard from where they should be?



Directions say 3in from Chine.

so I cut them down from 36 x12 to 20x12. Have had time to move them out yet so that is what center looks like on a 36 tab. It work fine for this season plan on moving them out later. Just have to buy longer components to adapt out another 8in.

Would love to know what the previous owner was thinking but then again he wasn't very obsessed with using sealant either on the boat. So maybe he wasn't thinking.

Just added these new scuppers to the boat after the old ones have cracked. This was much needed. They make for a nice clean look

Already working
Nicely as u see in the pic

These are made by Atwood Ss 1 1/2" part 665533 very thick ss and retrofitted to the Parker

Looks like a nice part.
Much more substantial than the old ones.

Cutting in a temporary fish box for the season. Next winter I will be cutting out the deck and making two slam hatches(one for the fish box and another for the battery box butt also including the sending units on the twin fuel tanks.

The temporary hatch that I pulled from inside the cabin under the dinette.

 

[kidfreediver]

There is probably about 200quarts of space under there and plenty big enough for a fish box which will allow me to insulate it when time comes.

A day out is better then a day at work.

we had 9 salmon that day up to 31lbs. Lost three and had numerous drive bys. This vessel is starting to fish great.

Okay so after New Years I will be installing a slam hatch that I will be forming up. Also I like the look of plasdeck. Probably teak with black lines but Parker white would be cool to. I figure I'll put it in the cabin and on the deck. Also the swim bracket might be nice. I love the look of that stuff

 

[Megabyte]

Looking forward to that project. 8)

castaway customs seadek I presume? That looks sweet, and easy to keep clean. I just had a small castaway custom project done for my inshore skiff. It adds a touch of class!

I like seadeck but real hesitant on a foam floor sense I think I will rip it. That why I'm choosing to go with plasdeck or plasteak.

I just received Plasteak (onyx) in and it is too slick of a surface for my liking. It is more or less the texture of linoleum. I'll be returning it and going with the Plasdeck instead. Just as heads up...

Thank you for the feed back on the plasteak. I definitely want grip
