Haven't been able to get anything don't on the boat lately, the newborn and 22 month old are a handful I tell ya! But, my buddy installed one of his custom cone on my lower! Not mint but I don't own anything that's mint. A saying from high school we had was, "it don't need to look good to haul ***!". But a home casted and fully welded on cone looks killer to me.
