Here was the email from Tumacs on the material used. Its now an Ecolite. They said 6-8 weeks to get a new cover, but it was less then 4 weeks. It also included the 4 black vents that the poles lock into. From: P460 Pittsburgh Office <pittsburgh@tumacscovers.com> Sent: Monday, March 27, 2023...

Isn't Tumacs still the OEM cover supplier for Bennington? I had to buy a new mooring cover and bimini top for my 2011 2275 RCW before I sold it 2 months ago (bought the cover in 2023) and just gave Tumacs my Hull Identification Number and they shipped me a factory cover and bimini top. The...

Those toons are really "dirty" and I am sure your drop in speed could be associated to that. As mentioned, if you rock the boat side to side at the stern of the tubes while on the trailer and listen, you would be able to hear "sloshing" of water back and forth if there is water in the tubes As...

a few pics and you can hear the BAR "thumping" on the attacking plane as it passes the mast.. Pretty cool the planes flashed their landing lights to simulate them firing on the ship

That's a fantastic point that I never thought about before. I would have loved to have been able to keep by bimini top in the deployed position while being able to have my mooring cover on for the past few years because my cover was getting so poor at repelling water and having the carpet...

My son got chosen to to participate in the 80th D-day re-enactment on LST 393 in Muskegon Michigan which is 1 of 2 LST's that are left that were on Omaha Beach for D-Day.. He was asked to portray one of very few US marines that participated in the invasion as the Joint Chiefs of Staff deemed...

Thanks. Its close to the best of both worlds. Couldn't handle putting a boat on a lift in the bay and watch a storm beat it up, but yet have a nice canal / safe boat docking space and a nice view of the bay. However, the guy in front of us, who has a direct view of the bay and a lift for his...

Only have left to wax the boat before it goes in the water. Got the new 3D raised registration numbers installed, the name on the stern (from our kids who grew up with the movie Flush Away where the boat was named the Jammy Dodger) and the tower speakers installed along with a few other...

You need the bump stop covers!!! I too never power load any boat onto the trailer! :cool:

Yeah, No Bueno there!!!!!

If you use the acid wash (aka Toon Brite or Napa alumabrite) it makes them clean. yes a little white, but it sure looks better then what has been shown in this thread even after some time on the water. There is a process on how to do it to not get streaks in the tubes. You need to use a...

I can definitely check them as well. Thanks!

Beautiful!

Found the table and post. Is this the style you were looking for? If you want to DM me with your address, I can find out what UPS wants to ship it. A couple of surface scratches on the edges just from rubbing around when it was stored in the console or outside the boat. Not bad though for 13...

The fun thing is the swim up seats are reversible so you can set on the swim deck and have a table with phone holder and drink holder
