D-Scott,

I'm thinking pops is gonna freak.
Yes she was a full blown restoration on the boat and trailer,interior and exterior and some motor and jet upgrades as well. Here are a couple before and after pics.

Those aren't the same as the ones posted above. Already checked and Rex doesn't have them.

There's also a shop in BHC that'll do a lift on your trailer if you like.

MitcherT Custom Painting did the paint job on it for me. Everything else which included the seats,carpeting,gauges,engine and jet drive upgrades was all done by me.
I ended up going way over budget on this project but oh well. :rollside:
Recessed cleats would be cool but they are pretty pricey. Sunsation Powerboats was generous enough to provide me with a set of four 6" stainless cleats free of charge so that is what I will be using.
I just hate the thought of drilling into this beautiful MitcherT paint job.
Scott, first of all two huge thumbs up for what you are doing for your dad. My thoughts on this are, with all the money you have already spent on this project what is another $250.00 to $300.00 bucks for a set of pop-up cleats? Next thought is most cleats even though very smooth have little pointy ends on them, of which if some rough water were hit could be hazardous to people if they were mounted inside the gunnels.
This is the cleat I will someday install on my Sprint

Here is the direct link to them stainless cleat (http://www.overtons.com/modperl/over...um=34759&fcat=). If you go to Overtons.com (http://www.overtons.com/) type in cleats in the search section you can find two pages of cleats with a few other pop ups as well. Hope this helps.

I really like the pop-up cleats but I just don't know if this Sanger has the room on the under side for them to retract properly. If I go with a pop-up design I would mount them on the outside of the gunnels where you would usually see cleats mounted.
I really like the idea of the flip up cleats that are posted on this thread. That way I'm not drilling any big azz holes.
