Great information guys!
With the new fenders im in need of new sliders. The bar on mine goes ww2ww and I don’t want the cut the flares. For me it’s better to have and not need so its between GR and Savvy.
GR mini boats requiring you to use a BFH or cut the bottom of the tub to fit has me apprehensive. So I’m leaning towards Savvy’s. Although I’m not crazy about drilling 40 more holes I understand why that what it takes. Well I don’t really understand but anyway.
What part of the number of holes needed is difficult to understand? If you cut your tub to install the boat sides, you would be very sad at the result. The inner floor attaches to that edge that gets folded under at a 45 degree angle and you would lose that attachment.
@mrblaine or @Jerry Bransford did Savvy stop offering the SS slider? Would you care to share why?
Like most things, folks didn't understand the value of it and absolutely require some sort of a step even if it was a crappy one.
I went through 600+ post waiting to see the two step versions but never did. Regardless if they came into production or not I would like to see what you came up with if you wouldn’t mind. On the website it is called a “step slider” but as you’re aware time is not wasted on pictures. Is the original design still being sold or it one of the designs with a step?
When the Savvy sliders were introduced and how well they worked was being discussed, there was post after post of folks saying "that's awesome but I have to have some sort of a step so they look and work like the rest of the shit out there". No amount of explaining or examples to the contrary would quiet down the insistence on a step. Gerald finally said to build a step with a tube. No problem. I designed a couple, one with a removeable step section so options could be made for different types of steps. There was another and small test runs of each were built. None of them sold. They were all finally given away as promotional items and discontinued.
I've never had any to send out. Sorry about that and I know some exist, I just don't know where to find them.Any chance you have the installation instructions you could email me? I would like to go though it this weekend if possible. Thanks
