Congrats

Like they say the best days are when about is bought and when it's sold

It was a sad day for us because it closes another chapter in our life. I doubt we’ll ever own a boat again. But can’t justify it just sitting and bleeding out $ for insurance, maintenance, etc.

It sold…….so bittersweet

I am happy and sad for you

I have to reattach one of mine. When I bought them they didn't make any for my truck yet so they're custom made to be sheet metal screwed into the cab from underneath. We'll the inevitable happened after about a decade and the screws loosened so no more good. Think ima break down and use rivnuts which I hate using but no other options unless yall got one. It'll be blind bolts, I can't get behind it

Dropped off to our mechanic yesterday. He will go through cab under seat and replace broken bolts. He’s also hooking up the a/c and hard-wiring new speedometer.
