    aw man, and i already odered some pushrod boots when i could have gotten them free off an old bike...ha

    Thats one good looking boat by the way. Very clean looking interior as well, despite the tight spaces you have to work with.

          No problem Diego, I'm glad I had it available for you. She looks good and in proportion as well.

          To my knowledge, they aren't from a bike, but have been around for many, many years in the possession of a LWS owner for personal use. I'm not sure he can get more, but I'll try to find out a manufacturer for you guys. Otherwise, I guess those parts from a bike may work, but I can't think of their size right off hand as I'm not familiar.

          Diego, does the color of the tube match at all? Or rather, are you going to like it? If not, let me know, I may have a different color that might work better with the paint scheme.

            It's far lighter blue than the boat, but that doesn't matter.

              I just picked up a boot from a bike shop. I'll post pics when I get back home.

                  Are you going to cut the back part off?

                    Those are quite different in size.

                        I'm sure there are different sizes and styles, that was the only on the bike shop had, and they gave it to me for free.

                          1st video of the Stretch.
                          Don't get excited, it's a dry run.

                            I took a lesson learned from my Scale boat buddies and applied a "Splash guard" to this boat!!
                            Now I can expect to open her up every time and not have grease slung all over the inside.

                              The top of the Splash guard is split to clean easily.

                                Not sure? What'll you offer, and I'll decide if it's worth parting out the original for it. FYI, She's going to keep her motor!
