    I put one on my 1875 Impact with bunk trailer, absolutely love it. The only adjustment I made was moving the winch post forward a couple of inches. Once you get accustom to it, you glide your boat in at the landing and let the boat get centered and then just bump the throttle slightly and you can hear the Drotto click. Thats it!

    Just to clarify, are these for double cab, which I want, or the crew cab? Has that ever been clarified?

    I dont believe the 1775 Impact is rated for a 150, you would need to go to the 1875 Impact

    Is not a problem, items will stay put better than a liner, but slide when you need them. Absolutely love my bed rug, put it in my 2015 and looks almost like new with a few vacuuming’s a year. Wouldn’t have a truck without it. Not bad for taking a short nap under the topper if you need one!

    I have a 15hp kicker only because that was all that was available and was the last one of those! Would have preferred a 9.9, they only additional benefit is that it has an alternator. It is on an 1875 Impact XS. As you will hear, the motor isnt made for speed but torque. 9.9 is all you really need.

    Had the same thing happen, been using it without that piece for a year and a half with no problems.

    Still driving on the lake in Chetek, plenty of good ice, but the forecasted rain will probably take out the last landing. ATV or walking as of tomorrow.

    I have a 2019 Impact XS. The interior leds are more of a task light. There is one strip each by the drivers and passenger counsels and one in the bow area By no means will these blind you.

    When I built mine I also wanted it to break down. For the risers make sure the width of the dado is fairly tight to the width of the crossmember. On the cross members I countersunk a 2 1/2 inch bolt from the top and secured the bolt underneath with a t-nut to hold it in place. Line these up with the risers and drill a corresponding hole in them. The crossmember will have the bolt permanently installed and drops into the hole you made on the risers. Breaks down into four pieces easily.

    On an older vehicle that’s hasn’t been detailed in a long time, it will be a multi step process. First wash then clay, after that you will probably need to use compound, then polish then wax. Think of the steps as sanding the clear coat to a smooth finish as you would a piece of wood. The compound will take out some of the deeper scratches but if you can feel it with your finger tip you will not be able to get those out. Next use the polish to remove swirls and spider webs. Lastly, wax the vehicle.

    Additionally there are synthetic clay bars that are more sponge like and are easier to use than the actual clay and wont be ruined if dropped on ground. Just make sure you use plenty of lubricant such as detailer and you wont have a problem with the clay.

    I have done numerous vehicles but use a dual action buffer and pads. Harbor Freight sells an inexpensive one made by Chicago. They also sell buffing pads. There is one pad for each of the steps of compound, polish and wax. You will be amazed how well the vehicle will turn out following these steps. It can be time consuming but the results are extremely satisfying.

    After this process you may realize the price the local detailer is relatively cheap.

    If you plan on doing vehicles several times a year, it can be a money saver doing it yourself. But the up front cost of the buffer, pads, clay bar, detailer, compound, polish and wax is expensive, more than the cost you were quoted.

    I have that exact boat, if I could do it over I would go with the 112 lb. Like the people always say on here… max it out if you can afford it

    I have a 2019 Impact 1875XS, after fishing for a week last fall on Lake of the Woods, the seats were lower than the sides from compression. The seats themselves are comfortable and the extra room is awesome. But if I used the back deck consistently I would buy the flip up deck style seats like on a regular Impact for the consistent flooring level. Guess I had better change my name on here.

    Regarding fitting a Lund Impact 1875xs into a 7 foot door garage door, there a several variables that may seem minor but could have huge implications…its that close. What trailer, roller or bunk? Is the approach to garage level or inclined? What size drop do you have on trailer hitch?

    I have a Shorelander bunk trailer, flat approach, and 2 inch drop on hitch. I need to trim motor down and then back in slowly and it clears by maybe 1/8 of an inch. Hope this helps.

    The two companies are not related. Gullickson Bait makes the panfish Beaver Tail. They are located in NW Wisconsin near Chippewa Falls. They are available at several location but I have seen them at Scheels in Eau Claire. Uncle Josh is out of business and were located in Ft. Atkinson, WI.

    Do you think it is coincidental that many people will be receiving the Covid relief checks tomorrow?

    Gander Outdoors has them in Eau Claire has them either 25 or 50% off right now during their liquidation sale. Sorry, I don’t want to misquote the percent off but it seemed pretty inexpensive compared to full price of $198 There was a pallet of 8 inch there this morning. I was looking for 6 inch so I didn’t pay as close attention. There were some very good deals on everything except the camping stuff.

    Fox Sports and Dish Network are in a dispute over money. So, of course we have to go without games until it is settled. Wonder if Dish will give me refund for Sports package. This affects all the local Fox Sports channels across the country. This sucks, was all settled to watch Brewers vs Cubs.
