Here we go ...

Dave, I stopped by to look at it this morning, very nice.

My only comment is that I think you have it too close to the transom - mine is at least 1" off of it. You need some room for flexing, etc... The way it is now, it's going to hit against the transom.
 
Thanks Hogan we pulled the platform away to what I was told should be enough for flex. I'm considering filling in the gap with silicon but I'm not sure that is a good idea. Did you try to flex the platform and see my concern? If you did keep in mind there are only four bolts on the center supports holding it place, it need as bad as it seems but it needs help for sure. I'm having a support made on site that should take care of it. I hope to finish install on Tuesday and launch before the end of the week. My props are in and look great almost a shame to hide the in the murky water.
 
JP- I chickened out and decided to stay at Haverstaw my first year. I'm on the wait list at Penny Bridge and Jimmy really impressed me at Patsy's, but in the end I opted for no-current, deep water.

I hope the clanking masts don't keep me awake at night.
 
Enjoy the season and your new boat. I am sure we will see you out on the water.

I'm sure you will be happy there. As for the clanking masks when I was a teenager my parents kept their boat there and I found the clanking relaxing and soothing, today I find it annoying and it would keep me up. I think for the reasons you stated you probably made the right choice. If you see us on the water please feel free to say hello.
 
We kept our Silverton right in among all of the sailboats

We found the sound of the hardware hitting the masts to be very nautical, and one of the reasons we enjoy being part of boating. Quite honestly they add to the overall ambience of marina life.

Just watch out while traversing the fairways, the sailboaters have a strange habit of backing out of their slips no matter who is coming down the alley. I guess this is also part of marina life.
