Nice! I have a couple of modifications that I made to my Isomat boom that folks might find helpful: 1. Plug the hole where animals can get in . When I first took off the end caps on my boom, I discovered a bird's nest inside. I started looking for a solution, and was told to just put a sponge in the...

Here are two of the three folding steps I installed last winter to replace the original aluminum ones, one of which had begun to crack. The new ones are 316 stainless. In addition to the fasteners, I also bedded them in 5200. The original steps were screwed into threaded brass inserts, but Paul Denn...

It supports my 12.9" iPad Pro nicely, and allows us to curl up against the hull and watch movies. We recently spent the day hiding from Hurricane Do...

For whatever reason, the previous owners of my boat stuck with the standard 2 reef points when they had new sa...
