i had the same screen name on 2001.com, i honestly dont have any idea why i put john, it coulda been because i just didnt want people knowing my real name online, but i made this profile on here long before i made the one on planetnautique.com or 2001.com. im not trying to hide anything. i am who i am. i paid my debts, and i would love to be back part of the nautique community.

I too would like to know why you put "John" in as your name in your profile?? Do you have other alias's? You changed your screen name once that I'm aware of! |

dude u dont know what the hell you are talking about, any upset person can turn something bad into something worse. i paid all my debts, over and done, and to let you know i just spend 5 months totally ripping out rot and putting new stringers floors and carpet in this boat, i have made this boat back to new and there was NO hacking involved, sorry that my tower doesnt make u guys happy but atleast i did not put a universal POS on it. and to let you know, i wont fight you. i dont fight people, especailly someone who says they want to fight over some keyboard, grow up.

Maybe cause that's the name in your profile, I'm thinking d*ck would have been more in line! POS!! Your a rip off artist and that boat deserves a better home in lieu of you hacking it up! |

Irregardless of the deck issues, I would think the tower is going to wobble pretty good because of those bends.

Chris, I did notice that the post looked like Corys after I concured the issue with the deck strength. Maybe BWD will come in and hopefully have good things to say about the payment!!!

It should be as close to the sides as possible, with adequate backing plates.

John, I'm sure glad you put the ply and stainless backing under the deck. Now instead of a small holes in the deck, it will be a big holes. I have got to agree with Joe and the Doc. I don't even like to walk on the decks!
You may want to consider glassing in some reinforcement ribbing fore to aft as well as port to starboard. |

I have to agree with Joe on this one.....
That deck was not made to support the loads that you could generate with the set up you have there. Maybe all it will do is rip two large hole out of the foredeck, worst case is the damage to the observer and rear seat passengers. You are on your own here as it was your idea,I would recommend a good crash helmet as an added safety measure...........Boat dr |

Its not a good solution structurally though your giving a huge lever arm to the force on the deck, I would truly reconsider using that tower like that you might only get away with a lot of stress cracks if your small and lucky.

well i bent them in that far because i had some previous glass work done on the edge at one time, and i didnt want to mount on top of that. so thats one reason, the other was that when we bent it in, it lost alot of height, so we extended it and they just ended up in that far, i kinda like it, its different.

82,
Did you really bend the front legs in that far, or did you use Photoshop to exaggerate?? I didn't need to bend the front legs in nearly that far when I put an FCT on my '87. Check out my link below. Glen |

I am losing my storage place for this tower in April, so I would like to sell this soon. Am willing to let it go for $700.00 plus shipping. I will be back in Winter Haven on March 11 and can get all the exact measurements and any details one would need. Call me if interested. 815-953-1823. Bigwavedave
