I have the classic flat board with carpet as my bow stop currently and would like to update to the upside down U shape with boards on both sides if possible. They went to them in I think the mid 70's on Nautiques and so forth? Any help on where I can find any good parts like this is appreciated. ------------- 1968 Mustang 318 CM |

Joel, Take a look at this thread, we're going to take a shot at building one and see what the cost would be as atleast 2 guys need one. I'm going to need to make a sketch and then have someone with a stop insert some measurements. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9773&PN=1 - Bow stops ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

I cant really tell from the pictures, but in both Tim's and Alan's pics, it looks like the stops are attached to the pipes using standard pipe straps. Is that true? I have the piping, just no boards. A previous owner smacked the boat into the pipes and cracked my fiberglass. I don't want it to get any worse and was thinking of attaching some boards. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Yes, just pipe strapping. Nothing fancy. My 98 trailer still had the same setup. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

I call pipe strapping the stuff on a roll with a lot of holes and it's flexible. What is on mine is what holds conduit in place. ------------- Tim D |

Thanks Tim, your set-up is identical to mine so that gives a good pictorial of what to do. ------------- 1968 Mustang 318 CM |

Alan, after we put the '88 on the lift, I can bring the bow stop and 2001 SN guide down to make patterns for. If anyone could send a BFN trailer guide, that would be great. ------------- |

Kevin, That would be awesome, I don't think you need to pull the bow stop though, just a sketch or photo with dimensions would be fine. Having a set of the guides would help though as I'm still guessing on the bends for those. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |
