Just picked up a 208V SKY with only 73 hrs on it. Really like this boat just have a few questions some of you might be able to help me with. We have put around 12 hrs on it in the past three weeks everything seems to work like it should.It didn't have a bimini top with it does anyone have any suggestions for OEM or a good aftermarket top that goes nicely with this tower. The only problem i am having is the swim platform brackets keep breaking.I had them tig welded.This seems to be a common problem from back then. I have read on an old forum that the manufacturer would replace them with stainless brackets for free. I called them and they said they would sell me new ones that go on a newer boat for around 250$ a piece. But i would have to fill the bracket holes in the back of the boat and drill and tap new holes in the transom. I am more than capable of doing this but dang i hate drilling into a perfectly good boat. I have a fab shop making me some stainless brackets now. Its a bit disappointing I understand the company was sold in 2010 to finline. I'm sure thats part of the problem I'm going to have with anything for a boat pre 2010. I called them about manuals and they don't have them either they did email me a generic centuion manual. but nothing on the motor /trans/or Vdrive. This boat was a repo so very little came with the boat. My last boat was a older moomba and skiers choice was very good to deal with, actually had worn out swim platform bracket and was able to order those for a 10 year old boat. All in all we love this boat I think the family will enjoy it for many years to come. Thanks
