Jay -I just bought a 1998 Jaguar. As far as I can tell, all my rings are in pretty good shape, but your set would make a good backup for me if and when they fail or get broken. I dont have much of an idea of an offer to make you. I also dont have either of the trade items you mentioned, or much else youd probably be interested since I am just now diving head first into serious boat fishing. Since I am not in need right now, I think Id prefer to wait and see if you get anyone really wanting them any time soon. If you dont get much interest on this, let me know and well see if we can work something out that makes sense for both of us. Thanks.Paul

Thanks for the info and replies all.scuba – sounds like an interesting idea. I look forward to some pics to help me visualize your concept.

Nice work. My battery layout is different, but that gives me something to work from. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I wish I had time, money and space for every hobby I want to have. Ha. I am planning to get a 4-blade 21p for when the kids want to play so that I can hopefully run slow with good control.Scuba – pics are coming. I store the boat about 15 minutes from my house (for free so Im not complaining), and I havent had a chance to get out there since our last email. Also, I am getting some new (to me) seats in a week that I want to install before posting in whatever the “bragging” part of this forum is called. Boat is very clean and fine except that the bench seat bottom is ripped up. I want her to look good for her debut. Wait, am I still talking about a boat….? Thanks again for all the feedback. I wont be mounting the battery charger anywhere until I post pics and think through my options to do something like your bridge.

ctford -I have a photobucket folder I will share with you once I get a pic with the seats open. The buckets are a little off center with the compartments underneath. Richard Bates chose to center them and then have a narrower middle step box made, but I need the middle seat because of the number of people I will frequently have in the boat. Ill try to remember to take some pics this weekend when I will have the boat again. Thanks.

Praying for her scuba. Complete healing from the One who is able.

Thanks. One thing I wasnt expecting to have to do was remove the chrome bar under the seat, but the bucket seat over it just didnt have enough room to open with it there. It wasnt a problem – just hadnt thought of it. I do want to fill the holes but did not have enough time last weekend. I hadnt even cleaned the dirt off where the posts were when I took the pictures. Best of luck to you.

Great work. I really like the tread plate you added behind the middle box. Wondering how you had that fabricated? I might have to do that for mine, but not sure I want to remove the current screws and potentially lose some of the thread grip.

ctford – you need to view the seat conversion post today by wjh. He converted a 5-piece bench seat to buckets. Its a lot more work and he did a great job. Youll have to decide if you want to go to that much trouble though. I will still share my folder with you once I have pics with the seats up.

[mrpeewee]

Sorry ctford – the other post is by topwater, not wjh.

[mrpeewee]

Thanks for the responses. Ill have to wait until I have the boat again to see how this information makes sense with my tanks. I could swear the fuel value in the splash well is pointing straight up, and the fuel is consumed from both tanks, but about 3X faster from the left tank. Maybe I have the valve set incorrectly? I didnt see Jaguar on the list in the link posted by BCB, but my set up seems more like the first example of two 26 gal tanks.
