Ordered mine with our AR220, around July 2022. Boat delivered in October 2022. Swim seats just came in last week (July 2023). Had to assemble and put on the adhesive pads, as well. Hope to use them soon. Question - figured out where to store them on the boat, yet?Finally received my swim up seats took 3 months just missed 4th of July. O well better late then never.

I would’ve given it a shot. Epoxy or new oil tank and good to go.Feel sorry for the poor dude that picked up my Husqvarna off the curb. I hit the base of the fire hydrant with the blade. All the oil drained outta that ducker overnight in the garage.
That is a small fork truck, the massive forks that lift the 50' boats are amazing to watch.Just another boat being taken out of the dry stack and dropped into the water, but I still often stop to watch it happen.

Agree. My uncle is a mechanic at Marine Max up in Ohio and they have a fork truck that will pull a 63’ SeaRay without hesitation. Now it’s funny to see a jet ski get dropped on on that same massive fork truck. Looks like a micro machine lolThat is a small fork truck, the massive forks that lift the 50' boats are amazing to watch.
I bet, this marina limits boats on the dry stack to 23’ on paper anyway. I’ve seen larger boats in there so I’m trying to get in anyway but the tower being not easily foldable is another issue in that there are fewer tall spots available at any given time.That is a small fork truck, the massive forks that lift the 50' boats are amazing to watch.
Wow that’s actually pretty cool. I hate ladders and I would way rather climb that hillbilly ladder than an extension ladder of the same size. Those things are so narrow and sketchy when you get up really high.I had to attend an adhesion test of a vapor barrier that was being installed over a concrete deck on this DFW Airport building. When you think of DFW Airport, everyone knows they have crazy safety standards and restrictions. I once did a project out there as a contractor and got shut down because I did not have 2 forms of egress off the building, so I sent the foreman to get a second ladder. Safety guy comes back out and says, that's nice, but the ladders need to be fiberglass not aluminum, so he shut us down again until we got 2 fiberglass ladders out there. So it was to my surprise when I show up to this new construction job and see this hilly billy ladder that we all used to get on and off the building. If you zoom in about half way up you can see an up arrow and down arrow. Freakin amazing. I've never seen anything like it in all my days.

A juvenile eagle, and an adult. Takes about five years for their head to become completely white. This one is probably between one and two years old. Those claws are crazy.

yup, all those people who have rescued, raised, studied, repopulated the bald eagles when they were endangered, documented them for years and years with that magical technology called "pictures"...what the hell do they know.I have neighbors that are "old-man-certain", and to get them to believe that the juveniles near us with that coloration AREN'T "golden eagles", I would have to show them 24/7/365 video for verification, and then they still might doubt me smh??
These are the same guys who say our Great Horned Owls are "Screech Owls" because "didn't you hear them screeching?" I downloaded the Merlin app, ran it, and they STILL won't believe me! Our purple Martin colonies are nightly dinner runs for the owls, but I can't be believed because these guys are 20 years older than me. Oy vey
