Re: Recent Chine Extrusion Experience

Hi Kevin, I happened to catch your post and surprisingly since owning my boat from day 1 I always wondered why the manufacturer did not weld the outside of the chines as described in your post.

About two months ago, I installed a MinnKota dual bank onboard charger for my 2 group 27 trolling motor batteries. The charger is located at the rear of my boat and batteries are located up front. Whil...

Good morning everyone! Pleasure to be a part of this site. I finally took delivery of my new North River Seahawk and couldn't be happier.
