Shield is something thats on my list. Along with recessed TM Pedal tray

Well went and looked. Im impressed. Little dusty. But in great condition. Almost no paint wore on prop. One small nick on it. Motor looks new. Couldnt find a scratch on the hull. I could tell where the bracing/frame was on the hull. Normal? Humminbird 937c Gps/sonar in bow. 45lb thrust 12v Motorguide. Optima blue top for TM.

Setting up appt for leakdown for a week from Sunday. MAN THIS IS DRAWN OUT!!!

There is a alum boat at Neil Spector motors in louisburg. I've never seen a boat there before, saw it on my way to work this morning. PM me your cell and ill text you pics this evening. It looked like a 16-17' with a mercury 40-50.

Pm sent.

Few more days left till the leakdown. Made appt to put a bigger ATF Cooler on the van. What its got is adequate to pull that 1800lb package. But, figured that a bigger capacity couldnt hurt.

Now is there a pedestal seat that will use the stock post?

Yes, you can probably get pedestal seat posts that will fit the standard Lowe fitting.  I got mine from BPS in 2002, shortly after I got my boat.   Go ahead and get the hydraulic one that you can adjust.  It is more comfortable and allows you to change your fishing position somewhat.
