I have a friend with a steel shop/ marine/ auto repair place. I had him re-position the bow stop/ winch stand of my boat. He offered to lift the boat up so I could change out the bunks. It was a little scary, but it worked. [IMG]http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo147/makinroost/Chaparral/S1...

My little bro decided he needed speakers i the T-179 so we custom fabbed some boxes for it. They are designed to wedge between the top and bottom of the gunwale panels so we would not have to cut into a Classic. They are sprayed with a rubberized coating and topped off with flat black paint.
