well i made the plunge today into the world of tubing once again, i got the money for my trolling motor and stopped at sportsmans on my way to work and picked up my new fishcat 4, man it was a tough decision i almost bought one just like it but another brand. sat at work tonight thinking of a name for my craft, my boat is called SWAMP YANKEE and was trying to do something a little different and i think i got it Whistlers Mother. after my dads 1941 plymouth ---

🕶 **Yeeeee Hawwwww. Now you’re committed. At least you should be.** * * * **When you get a chance, air up that new family member and measure the distance between the two D rings on the outside, under the pockets. They should be about 13" on center. I will need that info to fab your rod rack.** * * * **Looks like it is good we didn’t plan something for this Sunday. The weather forecrash ain’t good. Sloppy weather, wind and tubes are not good go-togethers. I cancelled on my trip with UtWalleye.** ---

Hey Petty, The cushions go side to side. Someone else had this problem also. It may be necessary to trim a small amount of the foam to get them to fit perfectly. A very sharp knife, machete or a good band saw will be helpful. You want to keep the edges as straight and square as possible. Good luck and get back to us if you are stil having problems.🕶 ---

🕶 **Just bring it all with you tonight. I have two others with the foam seats already set up.** * * * **Don’t do any cutting. They are cut to fit already, if you do it right.** * * * **This ain’t like mechanics…“If it don’t fit, use a bigger hammer.”** ---

You are already halfway there. You are in the Outcast portion of the family with the FC4. I guess you will just have to learn how to catch big bass with a #20 hook and a cigarrett butt to be fully qualified.[sly] ---
