5 Starr are good, tail lights probably won’t last long , replace all the screws with stainless helps ….
good luck

Thanks Gup....I put side guards/guides back on to keep the hull from hitting the fenders. Also need the pvc pipe extensions back on there...i couldnt see the boat when backing down the ramp without them.

I was wondering about the fenders hitting. Either putting the guides back on or raising the bunks but you saw this and fixed!

Boat is still very clean. I don’t see a ding on it! Take a 20 Oz bank weight and throw it at the boat so I feel better about all the dings on mine.

Thanks beamie...Its got a few dings but overall the two part epoxy paint has held up great. The keelgaurd payed for itself when my brother took the helm and gently maneuvered us onto a submerged rockpile. I made some modifications to the side guides to get them where they were needed. I played around with different bunk heights and preferred it lower than the top of the fenders so Itll float sooner.
