Captain's New Boat

[Captain PegLeg]

Another package came in today. As I find deals, I am picking them up. Got the msd enhancer and a 2" trailer ball for 251.87 shipped. Didn't need the trailer ball, but I will use it as a spare. Streetside auto had a 25 buck coupon for purchases over 275. Msd enhancer was 268.88 and a trailer ball was 6.99. Boom, free trailer ball and msd enhancer brand new for less than any other place I can find.

[Captain PegLeg]

No front foot hold???????????

Well.... I was quoted a front foothold, and it was in my invoice. But he forgot to put it in. I told him to just send me a refund for it and ship the hull. I was tired of waiting.... I will run a strap for now until I need to returf. Any tray is a jumbo tray after riding a xfs all summer.

They aren't hard to add after. My v1 didn't come with one and I added it later.

Exactly.... That's my plan.

Looks damn good though. Did he give you a weight?

 

[Ducky]

Yea and when you go to add the front foothold, youll probably want to do the Foothold mod where you make the angled portion of the gunwale on the back not as wide so you can kick straight in.

I asked him if he weighed it before he crated it all up...... Awaiting the email.

Hull finally made it in this morning! It took a little while longer than estimated to get it, but oh well. I wasn't in a hurry. A few miscommunications between us like a front foothold install and a installed 155 shoe, but overall I would rate my tigercraft transaction good. Tony may have taken a little longer than I wanted to reply back and forth sometimes, but they always did get answered. I honestly think i only talked to him on the phone one time since September. The rest was all through email. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one from them!

First impression of the hull is awesome. Looks good, way lighter than my rickter ninja I had earlier this year, yet everything feels good and strong. I will get a hull weight as soon as I can. Doesn't feel like it was tossed together. Engine bay looks great and is already set up for my tnt system. He installed by thrust bilge drain and tray drains I sent him. Cant wait to get my motor finished up, and get the rest of my pump paid for..... then its all nick nack stuff!

Damn champ, that looks sick!

Holy ride plate

Holy ride plate

It is sent that long so you can cut it down to your personal preference.

Just put it on a certified scale at work....... Hull, hood, rideplate, pole bracket, hood latch, scupper, tray drains, turf/padding, graphics.............. 85lbs. I'm happy with it!

 

[Captain PegLeg]

I've been working on my enclosed trailer all week long.... I've had it for years from racing Moto, but since I broke my neck, it's sat for 4 years. It's needed some tlc. But, we want to try it out loaded this week, so I may bring the bot hull with me the fill up the trailer if anyone is interested in checking it out!

 

[Big Kahuna]

Bring it

 

[McDog]

Just the hull? Dang! I wanted to ride it!

 

[Sanoman]
