Because I walk into the office and grab one the day they are shipped from the printer

I love the Dallas Cowboys colors but sure does make the boat look shorter- like a 30 footer.

Can't wait to get my FREE subscription from the SOS contest! Thanks again Powerboat and SOS!!

What is that, just to the outside of the outer exhausts?

Pieces of aluminum billet. They're transom reinforcements on the other side from where the hatch openers mount.

Cigarette has been struggling on how to mount the smartcraft at the dash on the drivers side for awhile.

This is better but still misses the mark. Once they incorporate it I think it'll give the dash a great look and be something people would look to buy new to get. But for the time being I still like the dash whithout the smartcraft, it just looks like a add on rather then a clean fit and finish.

I think that they are more like fancy siamese fender washers. I don't think they add much reinforcement they just keep the bolts from pulling through. I don't think that it's a very good idea to mount the lifts for a hatch that size on the transom.

I like the way they (Cig) mounts the struts for the hatch to the transom. It allows for excellent clearance when the hatch is up so you can move around the engine compartment. the only stress in that area is when the hatch is up and that is minor.

I agree that it would be cool to have the smartcraft integrated nicely at the helm. Mine is located port dash. I can see it while driving but it would be more convenient at the helm.

Powerboat has cut two more issues and downsized the magazine....

Beatiful boat ! I agree on the smartcraft comments ... they don't look great on most dashes ...

Yep, pbm has gone down to 6 issues a year for now ( plan is to bump up issues as economy allows and hopefully get it back to all 11 issues a year asap).
They also went back to the size magazine they had before enlarging it a few years ago. All the little stuff helps to ensure they are around for another 40 years.

When they first came out they were only mounted to the transom and it was an issue. They are braced down to the stringer now making for a much better design.

I read this the other day and have been checking the mail box every day. Now I know not to expect it for a week or so.
