Yes, SeaArk does.

Mine are just plain old fold up fishing seats but they're high backs and pretty comfy.

Thanks guys

Tex, To locate mine, I went to that searchtemptest website where you can search all of the craigslist sites at once. I specified a search radius and looked for 1872s through 2472s. I had to drive 8 hours to get the one I wanted but it was worth it.

Finally got my dash remodeling complete on my 1872.

You sure would, wouldn't you? But it has been my experience that boat manufacturers and even shops that install motors do not care about making your setup the best it can be. They care about getting the job "done", moving onto the next boat, limiting their liability, and getting paid. I've owned...

In my opinion when companies say where to mount your cavitation plate in relation to the keel line, it is a shortcut for doing what you really should be doing, which is running your boat and seeing where the cavitation plate is in relation to the WATER level at plane (which as you know is...

I'd bet dollars to donuts that your motor is too low. Your cavitation plate should be even with the waterline when you're on plane. You can buy or make a riser block constructed from aluminum to allow your motor a little more height, or buy a jackplate. They make cheap manual jackplate with as...

I have about 600 lbs hanging off of the transom of my 1872 with no ill effects. I don't think it would be a problem to hang 2 3-cylinder OMC's off the back. I've seen videos of twins on other 2072s/1872s.

Tex, I was hoping you'd say it was a 2072! Congratulations. Buy it, and don't look back. You'll likely never own a better boat. My 1872 is very similar to the 2072, so I think performance in regard to horsepower would be a pretty close comparison. I know what you mean but I have to chuckle...

No kiddin? You and I need to talk. I have a 200 Honda on my 1872 and I've been tweaking the setup on it. I might pick your brain for some info. I'll send you a PM as to not derail this thread.

Pointed nose = Modified V model. It is either a 2072 or a 2060. I've got an 1872 now (which is identical in dimensions to a 2072, except 2 ft shorter), and sold my 2060 a couple of years ago, so I'm familiar. Post a pic and I can tell you pretty easily what it is, or measure the floor or beam in...

Trailer lights are regular bulbs, but honestly I don't even hook up the trailer lights. The ramp is only about a mile from my house, in a very rural area. I have a handheld spot light. Are you guys talking about a non handheld type?

Can I see a pic of that ski pylon, CedarRiver? About fishing - I used to fish, but I got bored with it. My son is about to turn 3, and I think I'm going to get him into fishing, and rekindle my interest in it too. We're going to start back at it again. I do enjoy fishing. Good point about the...

She's been in the garage since October, and I've done a lot to her. I've run out of ideas on what to do next. Goal is to make a river cruiser/fast jon/fun jon. Any ideas? I have attached pics from yesterday.
