@@ClayLoyd My pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I hope yours turns out as stable as mine did. It is my favorite boat thus far.

@@gillgetter3004 That’s interesting, I didn’t know an American company made these back in the day. I knew the Australians are making them now called Captain Boat Collar. Thank you for the information and the advice. Just as important, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@jimfitzgibbon5492 No problem. I appreciate when people like yourself take the time to leave a comment. Much obliged.

@@AnglerAndrewHaTuna It’s still working perfectly. I love this boat. Thank you for the interaction!

@@wisdomandthewoods7422 no problem what kind of boat is it anyways

@@AnglerAndrewHaTuna It has no identification of any kind on it. GA DNR listed it as “1960 Unknown” and assigned a hull ID to it.

@@wisdomandthewoods7422 aww man Unknown 😂 mine is a 1973 undocumented vessel 😂

@@AnglerAndrewHaTuna 😅 IDK about you, but my unknown is my favorite boat so far. I just sold an Old Town Minn Kota kayak because I usually take this boat. I do have a Boston Whaler 13 that I am fixing up to sea worthy for inshore fishing.

That is a great idea. I mainly sit on the front bench so that never crossed my mind. Thank you for your input and thank you for watching.

@@tasatasat Zero accountability and zero responsibility from these dealerships and manufacturers. I have bought 2 brand new motorcycles and have decided that I will buy used bikes from now on just like I do with cars, trucks and SUVs. You can usually buy a 1 year old bike hardly ridden with that same useless warranty on it and never pay a dealership fee. I’m sorry you’ve had all that trouble. We are just living and learning. Thank you for sharing your experience.

@@607rocket Definitely more comfortable than the stock seat, honestly I think the stock seat looks better though. Thanks for the comment.

@@user-fg9ov4eg4u I think it was a reaction bite. Just saw something hit the water and wanted to get to it before anyone else could. That’s cool with me though. Thanks for the comment.

@@BrokeBackBob4559 That was my suspicion, thanks for confirming that. I appreciate your input. I have heard of Boston Whalers and Carolina Skif’s foam getting water logged over time.

@@wisdomandthewoods7422 I have a Lund Alaskan 1600 and it had pour foam in it when I bought it and it was water logged so I replaced it with the pink foam and now my boat is always about 600 pounds lighter

@@BrokeBackBob4559 That’s a heck of a difference.

@@jonnathankirby3810 That is an interesting idea. I wonder if one of the larger pool noodles could be forced to fit into that size down spout. That could very well work. Thank you for the comment.

@@huntsmart4850 I may make another video doing it that way. This way just keeps them out of the water to keep them from ploughing through the water if I want to use a motor on it. You are 💯 correct though. Thanks for the comment.

@@reedg1498 Thanks for the tip. I have heard of the pour foam but I have never seen it before. Thanks for the comment.

@wisdomandthewoods7422 yes sir! Any color you prefer on them?

@@christianigram1150 This boat would float. You may have to get out of the boat and hang on to the side, but at least you would still have the boat. Thank you for your question.

@@haroldkkromopawiro1680 15 inches from bend to bend. Thanks for watching.

@@TimCoble-l6w I’m glad y’all are OK. You are absolutely correct about putting the the stabilizers below the rib. It would be doing its job at all times that way. I put it above the rib just in case I wanted to put an outboard motor on it. Having it above the rib was to have less drag. I have videos where I made stabilizers on another boat (v-hull) and having them just touch the water allows good speed and the stabilizers only work when they are needed. You should check them out. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@rootwad Thank you! I truly appreciate that.

@@michaelf2646 Thank you! I really appreciate that.

I haven’t even checked it for speed. I will try to remember to check next time I take it out. Thank you for watching.

Isn't that 18"?

Basically it’s just above the water line with just the motor. It drops down a little when you get in. I did it this way to get the best of both worlds. Not a lot of drag (plowing through the water) and the stabilizers begin to work with just a small amount of lean to either side. Thanks for the view and your question.

That’s a great idea. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I may do that on another video. I keep putting them higher up to keep from having the stabilizers ploughing through the water. Trying to get the best of both worlds. I do need to experiment with mounting some lower so that they are working full time rather than just when the boat is leaning to one side. I do think that it could possibly risk a false sense of security though, creating a tipping point (or a fast tip spot) once the stabilizer is so far down in a lean. Higher up, you have a clear reference point being the water line. Good ideas. Thank you for the input.

@@markmitchellsr1837 I put them where they would just touch the water with the motor on the boat. Thanks for watching.

🤣🤣I just may do that! Nice to have a celebrity watching. I’ve put about 450 miles on the new TW in the last week. Thanks for the inspiration, I see why you had to have one now.

Thank you!

At this point, any dealership who says that they have never heard about this issue is full of crap in my opinion. Join any KLR group on Facebook or elsewhere and you’ll see countless people who have new bikes with this problem. People have been messaging Kawasaki for almost 2 years and they have yet to do a recall. I loved my 2023 KLR650s once I fixed the steering issue and I had added a lot of aftermarket accessories beforehand. But when Kawasaki continued to refuse to do the recall knowing full well that they were putting people’s lives at risk (mine almost steered me into oncoming traffic while creeping up to make a left turn) I sold mine and won’t ever have another Kawasaki product until/ unless they do the recall. I now have a Royal Enfield Himalayan and a Honda Rancher. I paid Cash for the KLR and lost about 3K when I sold it but I just can’t support a company that doesn’t care about their customer’s safety or their lives for that matter. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Be careful out there.

Thanks for the comment. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work either. That 7.3 diesel engine is not quiet though. I personally knew a man, his wife and an infant who died in their vehicle from carbon monoxide poisoning in while sleeping with the engine running. I am more comfortable with the generator being far away from my sleeping area. Thanks again for your feedback.

This is exactly what so many people have experienced and are still dealing with. Kawasaki has lost my respect and my business by ignoring this problem. Yes at low speed slowing down to make a left turn my 2023 KLR 650S almost “steered or darted me into an oncoming car. Dealer said there was no problem with the bike, had two mechanics ride it too. Apparently they were not bright or not honest. I now own a Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle and a Honda rancher 4 wheeler. I have no use for the Kawasaki name anymore after refusing to do this recall.

@@wisdomandthewoods7422 you said after backing off that nut it was an awesome motorcycle.

@@christoforospilitsis541 It was absolutely an awesome motorcycle. I loved it, but Kawasaki is putting people’s lives at risk by not recalling and fixing the problem motorcycles. Until they make this right for everyone else I don’t want anything that they have on the market. We have to vote with our hard earned dollars to see change.
