Nice!
Did you have to remove any of the windshield screws to install the new stuff?

[thunder550]

No, anywhere it went under another piece I was just able to slide it in.

Difficult? Soapy water needed? Heat gun?
Again, it was a bear on our Porsche. Makes me shy away from projects like this.

Still, great job T550!

Very good. You did check all of the screws to make sure they were tight right.lol
I think your trailer needs new reflective tape. The remove venture and put Thunder T55555000000

Thought I was supposed to remove all the screws and discard?

What a guy! Thanks BBP!

For S&G I found a transfer station that let me use their scale. Boat & trailer together weigh 6360 lbs with 1/2 tank of gas. Axle weight is 5860, which means tongue weight is 500 lbs or 7.8%. Good to know

Brought it to the wash bay to hook up the hose, met the Cobalt owner in the bay next door. 2007 250, supercharged 518, he said itll do low 70s on GPS. Really nice guy. Forgot to mention the forum, but he boats at pleasant too so I'll probably see him around.

Heck the way you work you could have that swap done Before you get your boat washed.

I fully expect you will have a supercharger on there by the end of the day. Jus sayin...

Boat is going in for vinyl tomorrow! Woohoo!

Also did a little bit of Amazon shopping. Picked up the Sony head unit you guys were recommending, one of the telescoping grab hooks, a few rope wrap things, and a pair of 25' dock lines. Had to tie up funky last weekend and used all 4 of my 15 footers, one was almost too short.

The line wraps are unrated for those of us who are OCD. One of my favorite purchases. Keeps everything tidy.

[thunder550]

Yep, every time we dock we are digging tangled dock lines out of the storage compartment. Already have 3 of them for tubing/boarding ropes, ordered 9 more
