Small world - just been speaking to Pete about where to get one for my Adventure 4m. I'm up for one if you can fit me in too (please)?

Cheers

you get nothing for a pair in this game, no seriously, that could work, if you are going to tow with it i'll make it out of 3mm wall 11/2 inch, and work the original transom brace into the frame, could probaly get 2 out of 1 length

Sounds good to me & not in any hurry, do you have any idea of price?

Fantastic - I only need it for nav lights etc so not worried if I cant tow with it - what ever looks good and is easier for you to make up.

Like Pete said though not at all sure of SR/Adventure hull angle diffrences etc.

Cheers
