    My 187

    I haven't posted pics of my boat for a while, so in case everybody forgot what she looks like, here she is. I know I talk alot about wanting a 203, but I can't seem to make the commitment to selling this gem.

    That is one pretty boat! It sure is sexy in the water. I like the way you have your name on the side too.

    Roy, do you have a pic of the console? Interested in seeing how the switches are laid out.

    This is the only one I could find. If it isn't good enough, I can take a better one. Thanks for the compliments, Fred.

    I'm running a 25p Tempest Plus @ 3.125" below pad. I've never adjusted the jp, that's how it was when I bought it from the original owner. The boat performs about as well as the good running 187's on BBC, so I haven't felt the need to mess with the setup. She runs 60 at 4016 ft, (home) and 63-64 on the MO river at 1600 ft.

    I didn't want to cut into the gel coat. It's in such good shape. So I ordered a spare windshield from C and O in case this didn't work so well. 3 years later it's still holding up my graph. I assume you were talking about the one at the helm. I like it because it's up high enough that the steering wheel doesn't block my trails when I'm flying down the river. I can follow the channel.

    Yeah, I've never seen one mounted like that. I wouldn't think the windshield would hold the weight without rattling all over the place.

    Re: My 187 (ToledoBendChamp)

    I guess I wouldn't have tried it with a bigger graph. Seems to hold up my 332c just fine, no cracks....

    Re: My 187 (Royjulius)

    That's good enough for the console. Just curious to see the switches and how they are laid out. Thinking about adding a new rocker switch panel on my 186. That's a good lookin boat for sure

    If I ever found a single console 203 (Mt. Home) in these colors, I'd have a real decision to make.....
