I m surprised you are having a hard time getting insured for 50/55 footer if you have significant experience on a 40’ FB unless that was a very...
Very scary. Still wonder why there isn’t an emergency shut down on the engine that could have been hit as soon as the gear (s) engaged...
Might also want to give us some information. You ll find many smart guys here (and gals... and maybe in between...) but you don’t even bother...
Easy to make. Take some 2” coosa, epoxy two pieces and cut at an angle matching the transom. Epoxy on the transom. Install the lights.
I had this on a 70 johnson years ago. The yard did a mounting block out of fiberglass. Easy to do with Coosa as well

This discussion is useless unless you tell us how you will Use the boat. For coastal use in the US and even trips to Bahamas pretty much...
Thanks Ken. It s hard not to get great footage in such beautiful places.
True. I still have Blue chart on my old iPad. Great in the us or Bahamas. Yes she shading on Aquamap in the US makes it harder to read
Aquamap is a must in the Bahamas as it uses explorer charts. Navionics is awful in the Bahamas with dozens of errors.
It s really nice in the Bahamas. Adds a new dimension. Bottom looks amazing. One way to avoid drilling holes is to epoxy a mounting pad to the...
