    Latches

    I’m a few weeks away from recarpeting my ‘01 TR20. I’m replacing all the broken Perko latches (ones with the d-loop pulls) with either the new style Southco compression style (that’s on the new bass boats) or the Anchor Style Perko. First, what’s your suggestion on deciding between the two? Second, where can they be purchased at a reasonable price? (Sure as hell not going to pay $50+ ea for Southco)

    Thanks

    Buy once, cry once. They are all metal and will last forever. Got so tired of the plastic tabs on the perkos busting

    Are the tabs you are referring too, the piece where the “anchor” pull attaches and swivels?
