were you able to snug them up?

Not sure? Did you slide tree out of track and look at bottom of tree base to see if theres fasteners to tighten or access the lift and twist portion?

This type of rod holder?

Here is craigslist ad link for Ocean Pro with bulkhead thats loaded in my opinion. https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/boa/7099302846.html There is a group Hewesnation on facebook lots of Great Lakes posts.

I think the 2 standard colors of hardtop are grey or white, get the white. Ocean Pro 240 hardtop has portapot with canvas curtain. Get it without rear bulkhead for loads of air and great visibility and hearing. Unless you really need the bulkhead.

Marks that are on path to collide with you show red, when they are clear or going opposite from you show green. Can see rain showers or birds flying even large balloons on the water. Like anything practice in daylight when skys clear so you know what your looking at when visibility sucks> Shimmed at slight downward angle so if your moving 5+ you wont have any blind spots in front of you when your bow starts rising. Your boat may be different. My rod holders on rear no issue.

Garmin Reactor autopilot with Smartpump on a Hewescraft 210 Searunner 225 Honda with 9.9 Honda kicker. Autopilot steers 225 which is connected to 9.9 with tie bar. Troll with 9.9 95% of the time. Troll patterns( zig/zag, circles etc..)

1983 catalog shows 2700# empty. https://gradywhite.blob.core.windows.net/media/2814/1983.pdf Photos are deceiving from a distance but looks like your light on tongue at the least. What year is trailer? one of the previous owners probably replaced trailer and got one that looked "good enough" for their anticipated use.

Hewescraft dealer on west edge of Cleveland probably 4 hrs from Buffalo. Erie Marine I think is the name. They are on the dealer page on Hewescraft website. Tough boats. I have the SeaRunner model with a little over 500hrs the last 3 years, more than happy.

when you added floor, motor, fuel tank etc.. it is sitting lower in water. Did not look up your build to see what make of boat. I had 22' Starcraft center console 1985. Thru hull fittings and rivets were issue. cut plugs from wood dowels. Wired brushed holes after removing thru hull fittings. Sanded plug so about a third would just barley fit in hole. buttered it up with 5200 then drove it home with mallet with wood block in between. Bullfrog rivets replaced 38 rivets in hull. Went from leaking 5+ gallons an hour to 1 gallon in 5 hours. Transom bolts same as thru hull fittings. Plug let dry for a couple weeks then drill and replace bolts. Did you replace transom?

Older EZ-steer I had between outboards. 75$ plus shipping.
