Well......some impressive lists!! Hoping that you all took time to post your mods so that we can keep a current source for others. I have posted something over twenty.....and done many other minor ones. My latest was a Frank C upgrade of the trailer rubber, new wheels etc. That adventure led to needing new fenders....and...those required a longer axle...completed late yesterday.
Am off to ten days on Lake Powell (Colorado River) early AM...for ten days. Will post the trailor adventure after getting some miles on it...1500 mile round trip. Been working 50 plus hour weeks for a while on a local river realignment project. Will think about you all when snagging my share of the unlimited catch of striper bass, some kayaking, and some hiking. 8) Jack

Craig has omitted the # "13" from his mod list in the interest of avoiding misfortune by superstition. :wink:

I think that infers a "single axle" upgrade???

(bummer if it required a new axle! )

Agree that Craig's ommission of # 13 on list of mods was because it is considered an unlucky #. That is why I never sail my MacX at 13 mph, sail at 13 degrees and have only 12 drinks while on board (not at helm of course).

Why not have 12.5 drinks, then have as many more whole ones as you like after? That way, you totally avoid the 13th! :wink: :D

The remaining .5 drink is sacrificed to Neptune or whatever wind / boating god of choice?!

Wow... I thought I was busy. Here's my meager list. Some wouldn't qualify as mods but it's easy to throw money at a boat after purchase.
