Anchoring and extra cleats.

[dogbert]

I just read this thread, the 20's don't come with front cleats???????!!!!!!!

I don't understand that at all, what the heck is tige' thinking about. I did not know that they omitted cleats on the 20's. That doesn't make any sense. I wonder if they made a 19' if they would throw in ores insteand of an engine. Geeezzzzzzzzz..............

Nice job on the cleats, look like they have always been there, like COMING FROM THE PLANT WITH THEM ALREADY INSTALLED.

Hey, now. Don't be whining...my boat only came with 2 cleats in the back. They are the really cool spring-loaded pop-up kind. It really hasn't been an issue for me. I've got two tower supports mid-way and my hand rails up front. That said, I may still add a couple of cleats where 1Lab_Trainer has them.

Those look really nice 1Lab. Did you install the cleats yourself?

I feel ya w/ the speakers. I put Pro80s on mine and I now struggle to get it up and down...and I'm in the gym 3x per week; there is NO WAY my wife will be able to do it. Those speakers weigh a TON! but man they sound good

Since my ride was in the shop so long for the darn trailer issues I had I had Reeds put them in. Labor was relatively cheap at around $90 but the cleats where expensive because of the Tige Logo.

Earlier in the thread I posted the cost of the cleats and labor. Labor went down to $90 from $210 and the cleats from Tige where around $120.00 ea. So not cheap but the Tige logo killed me. I could have gone generic but IMO I felt it would look weird with 4 of 6 cleats saying Tige and 2 upfront unlabeled.

I wish I wouldn't have listened to Reeds re: the Pro-80 b stock that they said would not fit. Heck the bimini tuns into the Pro-60's so the Pro-80's would of looked better. The 60's sound good so I will live with. Westsounds took care of me on the B stock pricing issues. I got the quick release clamps the 80's come with.

It is a great weightlifting machine. Our Lake in Indiana will force us to put it down when we launch or go from 1 Lake to another. Each time we go from the small ski lake to the largest lake in Indiana that is a 2 bridge channel so there and back up and down 4 times. At the Madison lakes same thing maybe more because of dam.

Well, the Pro-80s would have weighed more.

All in all it worked out. At least my wife and daughter can put the tower up and down if I am not there.
