You're welcome

The slip on mirrors are stable, I don't get any "buzz" in the mirrors.

If I had the extra $$$ to spend, the factory style extention mirrors are much better ( your money, your choice )

There is no update because he still has my boat. He's had it two months and has finally started on the canvas work.

We moved back our Ontario Canada fishing vacation from the first week of Oct to the third week. I hope we don't get snowed on

It better be done by saturday. It's filthy dirty from sitting open for 2-1/2 months and needs a through cleaning plus all the "stuff" needs to be put back in. Need to check wheel bearings, tire inflation, go over the trailer etc. Don't need any problems on a 340 mile one way tow.

Plus I need to make sure it runs ( make sure parts weren't stolen off the motors )
