Thru-hulls strike again! :'(

Yea I saw that Pipe, thats the third one I have heard about in the past month, all in marinas and all three sunk do to a failure of a thru hull :-/

[Skools Out]

Thanks for bringing back such fond memories Wind Talker :-/

Yep, those brackets are the same as the one Kamikaze sold to me. They are Gil brackets. Here's a pic of it recently installed on my V.

Looking good there Grace ;)

[Bygracealone]

Thanks Willy. Hopefully the engine will be good to me. I hope to try and start it up sometime next week.

[charlie_the_tuna]

nice job... what did you use to back it up?

[charlie_the_tuna]

never mind, i just saw the aluminum plate in the other thread.

[Skools Out]

yeah i just took a hammer and broke the old plastic ones out and bought new stainless ones and installed. I'm thinking of adding 2 more to the V-20 to get the deck to drain just like the 250 Sportsman does. they drain out the sides on each side. I haven't changed the 250 yet due to it needs like 15 and the Sea Ray has them here just not installed till i paint it, but the Sea Ray has like 15 or so as well.

[macojoe]

Up to $3000!!

[macojoe]

Sold for $3900!! What a great deal!! Thats going to be making someone a happy person!!
