Haha!! You are right there! It took an hour or so moving things around to get this new boat into the garage. I need to get a pic of both Spectras lined up, just as soon as I can get the place cleaned up a little.
They were in pretty rough shape. Most of the set screws were stripped and many of the bolts into the boat had already lost their nuts and just had to be pulled out. It still has the holes actually. I'm too far behind the 8 ball this season to worry about them so I'll just squirt a little silicone in them for now.
nice work... contemplating pulling the bow rail on mine as well, like others said it looks 100% better without but having the railing IS kinda nice so you have something to grab onto..
