Those bolts look like they don't have a lot of meat in the nylock nuts. I couldn't use the bolts that came with XO750 I went and picked up other ones that are a bit longer.

Only if the SS Screws back out OR their is dirt/sand between the bunks and hull. Carpet will absorb some dirt and sand but if they get dirty enough they can scratch hulls as well.
This technically qualifies as my boat because it's on the trailer and was financed from the same fund. I finished the mods on mounting my Ark 750 trailer jack. I got really lucky. It just fits in between the tongue and winch tower. They recommend installing as close to the tongue as possible.
Xmas in June!
Trying to properly outfit our new boat.
Slide Anchor, Slide Shore Spike, Anchor Line, Bow Line, Slide Hooks, Anchor Buddy, 4 Dock Lines - Thanks Ryan !
Deluxe Mooring Cover
4 Slightly used Mission Sentry Fenders ($100 on F-Book !!)
The Small Size Box Anchor fits into the 2011 242 with LOTs of room, the Large would probably fit easily.
Installed a new trailer winch this morning. Went with a Fulton F2 and could tell the quality was 10x better than the no-name, unknown capacity that was on there before.
Not all today, but this week I upgraded the speakers in the boat to all Wet Sounds Revo’s. 6.5 up front, 8’s in the helm. Powered by a Polk audio amp. Also did some gel coat cleaning/polishing... previous owner had a decal on the boat and once I removed it you could definitely see where it was.
Canopy frame version 1.0.. More to follow as I test fit the top. Main pieces screw together and comes apart into 5 smaller pieces and can be rolled up in canopy and easily stored in ski locker. All 1.5 inch PVC.
I appreciate the pics. I had difficulty deciding how I was going to modify my cup holders to accommodate Bimini poles/ fishing poles. I never thought to use plumbing fittings! Aftermarket cup/ fishing pole conversions cost. $100+. PVC versions cost about $20.
