Thanks for the great photos. It is funny to see how far seats have changed in the last few years.

We were down there 2 years ago for it and it is something that has to be seen in person as the pics don't do it justice. The logistics of getting everything setup is impressive by itself! The dockways that surround the boats are incredible. Thanks for the pics! Nice work guys!

Oh, and the Cigarette Huntress is badass!!!

Good point. I can't even imagine the size of the team they have to put together in order to organize an event of this size and magnitude. 3 Million square feet of boats and vendors is flat out awesome.

In my blue Boat I made all glass seat and love them just have to make nicer covers. Sure helps the back in big water.

That Fox shock on the seat base has to make the impact somewhat better on the back as well!

Stumped here as well, opens and closes something, but what? Hopefully someone that knows can chime in.

Curious as to how the new Evinrude eco-tech 250 runs as well.

Based upon the look of the boat, I'd almost guess it works some kind of a valve for a ballast tank in the bow, ski race style. I'd imagine there would be something listed on the website to confirm it. :peaceful:

Great Pictures! thanks for posting them!

Thanks! Looking forward to providing more coverage!

I think you may be on to something there, although I've tried searching for the maker of the boat, and came up empty! I've seen similar boats with that style setup though, opens and closes a ballast tank as you mentioned.
