Ha Ha! I hope to help anyway I can

I'm going to have some new up dates soon. I don't mind if it stays winter like for a couple more months

Oh! that picture hurt, that's bad, but just like mine when I got it.

Lots of good people and info here!

That's super great, looks like it was factory.

I'm just going the pontoon boat lazy option and screwing down a set...

It would be lighter!
