Hey Shortpants,
From one blue to another (green actually   ) congrats to seeing the finish line. It shows the light at the end of the tunnel is not a freight train coming, but the finish line even if its still a little down the road. Be Safe and enjoy the next step when you get there.

Oh did you come down to Charlotte after Charlie? If so we might have worked together.

Thanks 86Aqua!  I'm in the drop now and my wife only has a few more years to teach.  It felt so good when my youngest daughter after leaving UNF (wasn't her passion! hunh?) decided to enlist in the Navy and has left the house!!!   She's on her way to Japan in a month.   Woohoo!!!!!  Now, time for the wife and I to enjoy ourselves.

Fritz, I went a little East of me to the Arcadia area to assist with some of the roads that were blocked. I was cutting down trees with the chain saw which no one should allow me to handle...lol!

The wife wants an RV and really, so do I which is the reason for the sale we can travel more.

tom, one old piece of your boat is making its home in mine with thanks to eugene.

look familiar?

[shortpants]

That's funny!  I think that hatch was the only thing that H****rHe*d boats used that wasn't crap!  I think I have the hinges somewhere in my garage.  I will look and if I find them, your welcome to them.  I also have some nice pull up cleats from Gemlux if interested?

lol. it's funny, they used plywood in the hatch lid, but nidacore for the casting deck. after i shortened and trimmed the deck down to fit how i liked, the hatch lid weighs the same if not more than the casting deck

The Gemlux pull-ups are deluxe, what Eugene sent and we installed on my mess. He swears by them, says they won't rattle at idle like the Accons.

Don't know about the Accons...but the Gemlux (Southco's) are silent at idle.

That product was tough to source. Google it...you can't find much.

Scott,

Yours are Southco/Orcas, not Gemlux. The Gem ones rattle and hum like a U2 concert.

[seabob4]

Eugene...good to see you!

Thanks bro.

So hard to remember the brands and the good from the bad. At least I had the names spelled correctly

Back to the Accons.....understand they also  "cross-talk" and chatter.

The gems I have that were on the boat previously were the pull up ones and not the pop-up ones.  While they were on the boat, I did not have any issues with them beside the aft two that were modified by Tommy at Hammerhead.  What I mean by modified is, he cut two of the bolt shanks down because when he installed them he put them too close to transom and didn't account for the angle.  So basically those two were just held on by a thread.  Got lucky that it never became an issue!  The ones I have left are all in good shape and can tell you they never rattled.  A good friend of mine has the pop-up ones and they do rattle. It would be a good bargain to anyone who would like to purchase them!  I do like the Soutco/Orca ones now but sometimes find they are hard to pull up and also when docking places with a heavier-thicker dock line I find they are two small to tie up with.....

Sold!  New owner got an heck of a deal!
