Again with the no pics!!! Is Flexidip like the generic Plastidip? The stuff I've seen Plastidipped looked pretty good.

I made up another D2 to D1 Cruise adapter(thank you Eric). I put one in my daily driver '96 and I had Cruise for the first time in over 4 years!

yes, but it better have brakes. take it easy and you'll be ok. i pulled my FIL's 24' searay twice... short distance and under 45 mph but it pulled it. out/in the driveway and in/out of the water in low range. it's probably 7700-7800lbs.

Paddock. Probably could have got a better deal on shipping somewhere else but the ball was already rolling. $210 USD total.

Results are mixed. They vibrate more. Vertical visibility is good. Horizontal is ok. Had to make custom mounts for them. I like the manual adjustment. The stock mirrors are pretty good though.
