Miss Jazzy Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 It’s pretty easy. You order the kit which consists of sheets of mylar and all the instructions. Cut the mylar just bigger than the area you plan to cover and just trace out the edges of your nonskid. Send it back to seadek and the will send a rendering to make sure everything is correct. Installing on your boat is very easy. Just peel backing and stick. Took me about 30 min. Just make sure your alignment is right before sticking because its hard to peel back and maneuver. I got quoted from all the well known guys that come to you and do it but was a lot more $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 stroke I took of the boat a while back had one and it was great. I didn’t notice any noticeable blowout in turns. With this new engine setup (Suzuki DF140A), I notice some blowout in slow speed turns. We are running the best prop (I think) for this set up. Has lots of grip, but as anyone that has run a tunnel hull before will tell you, trimming the boat at different speeds and trim angle is constant work. Hopefully this will improve my low speed issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 No Problem with the holes, if is does not work out we all know a guy that can weld them up. I had a prop blade detach and take off half the cavitation plate on my SHO. Outlaw made it look better than new. I think your going to be happy with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerxV6 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Received registration numbers after 12 weeks of waiting and received custom vinyl numbers and placed. Then of course the ugly blue sticker had to go on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 With the new rules in SC you don't have to worry about the sticker being blue long. With new rules you will have yearly registration not every three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I haven't been on my boat in two and a half weeks. She is just staring at me with those bow nav lights like a pup hoping to go for a walk. Kills me. All these danged hurricanes have the swell so nice that the kids are wearing me out in the surf. I wanna fish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernWake Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Actually used an off day to catch up trailer and gear maintenance as well as top off the fly box. I thought I would relax but couldn't sit still. Back on the water tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerxV6 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Installed 4 new stainless steel cleats on the boat today for use specifically for the bumpers. Being an aluminum hull I purchased a new tool. The Rivnut Installer. This is probably the coolest tool I have to date. Drill a hole, screw insert on to gun, place in hole and squeeze. I failed to take pictures of insert attached but here are the results. I could always take the cleats off and show I will do that in a bit. Here are some pics though.

Looks gorgeous I just did this to my Gheenoe which was really faded thanks to the lame shop that kept it uncovered and apparently in direct sunlight for 10 months. It looks 100X better, not quite like brand new, but close enough. It's amazing what a wool pad and a drill can do with a little compound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
