Our good friend Nando has a 19-6 completely rebuilt with a fold down tower, Merc 200 Opti on an Armstrong bracket. Fishes the living piss out of her, handles like a dream...

I need to ask him for the dimensions on the Asport logo on the side of his boat; I have access to a pair of those but aren't sure how they might work on my 200 Osprey. Can someone tell me who that is and if they are a CAS member how to get in touch?

Pretty sure that's Bruce's (aka Bergertime) 245 Osprey.

Definitely a member.

PM him. (here's a current thread he has going)

Love my tower, handles just fine.

Any V-Hull with a tower is going to list if the weight is not centered, when weight shifts in the boat the sensation is much more dramatic in the tower than it is on the ground floor.
