yeah if it's not a single bi-color light then you are suppose to have your rear white light in the center. Only if you are going outside in your boat, but if you stay in the inland waters and lakes you are fine. but haven't seen to many tickets for it.

My excitement is waning. The marina installing my engine called and said that the 25" engine is sitting too low on the 20" transom. They installed the jacking plate which should give over 5" of vertical lift. I am hoping they are just stupid. Here's the bracket I got to raise the motor.

Boatnluvr, this is what i did about the open hole from a capless deck pipe. i needed an extra large opening for the amount of chain i have(30' for diving). it is a piece of 4" drain tile that is between the deck and ths shelf in the cabin. it carries the water into the anchor locker and to the bilge.

Re: Fixing up the 88
 

If they actually installed this to figure out it's hangin' too low...ya might wanna be thinkin' about dealin' w/another marina
;) ...


Phat...that's a great idea!!...looks like ya got same bow-lights as me... ;) ...

Re: Fixing up the 88
 

Great Pics. Phats. Didnt know you were a buble blower as well. ;D
So what hold the black tubing to the underside of teh bow. Ok, lets define anchor locker guys. I presume you are talking about that little cut out area inside the cuddy were your bow eye/cleat is mounted ?
I always wondered if that was enough room for 150 feet of rope. Or do you store your rope where the cut out storage area is where some guys put a porta potty ?? Phats, the black tubing, does that go through the cuddy shelf and straight into that locker ? I really like that Idea. You able to get a better distant shot of your set up. Your giving me more diving ideas.
As far as your diving goes, any problems diving off your V ?? do you board the boat with your tanks on, or do you take your tanks off then haul them up on the boat ?

Love that exstended bow rail as well. You do it yourself ? There goes the down payment on the new house. Getting all these ideas. ;D

Re: Fixing up the 88
 

I have a square 5 gal bucket with holes drilled in it. it sits in the cabin, thats were the rope stays when not in use.
I have to put a longer chain cause it doesn't make it to the bucket so when its in that area you ARe talking about it some times get wedged between the liner and the hull, and can be a pain to get out!!
