[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][size 3][#500000]...this post brings to the forefront of my brain something I did yesterday.. for whatever reason I was checking out NFO site and went into the accessories section.. and in there they had at least one nice looking "seat" .. loooked hard shell with padding.. when I saw that I thought of you and the seating problems you have been having with your H3... may be an option to look at if you have a mind to change things up at some point in time...

[cool][#0000ff]Don't know how much of the chatter you have picked up on that issue recently, but it turns out that the air chamber for the seat bottom was defective. Instead of having horizontal corrugations it was just a big round "whoopie cushion". There was no way to get a solid level ride. I was either riding on top of a round basketball or sliding out the front of the tube due to lack of support.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Dave Scadden sent me a replacement as soon as I made him aware of the problem. He assures me that defective air chamber is the first they have had in over a thousand H3's sold this year. And, overall, they have a less than 1% return ratio for all their craft. That is considerably lower than any other models I know of.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The replacement bladder does indeed have a level surface, when aired up, with appropriate ridges to prevent sliding forward. I will still add some kind of "cushie for my tushie", but only as a wimpy concession and not as a necessity.[/#0000ff]

....yes I had followed up to point of you telling Dave about the problem.. I was on ly commenting on the hard seat option since you had put some different seats on yours.. this one was desigend for the H3..


was certainly not trying to tell you what you should do.. just something I noticed as a possible option for you or anyone else whom may be interested.....

[cool][#0000ff]Thanks for the warning. Gives me time to get out of town.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Already got a lot of the dangly goodies prefabbed and ready to install.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]We really gotta talk about the downriggers though. Just no place to attach them. Those H3s are tough but you cain't drill holes in them to screw down the riggers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]And, about the mounts for the twin 150 outboards...[/#0000ff]

[tubeN2]

Huskers II ??[pirate] Dude, you hang out with some strange women![laugh]

As far as the twin out boards go, I would suggest only one of the 150 hp motors. That would give you the extra space for the bigger fridge and also the 60in Plasma.[cool]

[macfly55]

.... you really do have a thing for that 60" plasma.. hehehe do you miss your MTV.. or is it your CMC... [laugh]
