OK, this thing was racking my brain all day the more posts I saw. Just got in from finishing the update below.

Got 2" angular aluminum at home depot and replaced small washers with some home made planks. It's 1/8" and not 1/4" but the 2" washer option would have a lot less strength than this.

That's 5200 on there all right. My cousin did a great job of smoothing it, it actually is even better than in that photo as he cleaned it further after that. I read to use a lot of 5200 so I did. Spewed everywhere.

Opti decision was due to a connection via a family member to a local dealer, price, quality of the shop and distance from my house. Lastly the Opti was a little lighter than the 4 strokes.

Now I can go on vacation! Well, maybe I can get a little electrical work done on Friday before we leave! LOL
