Looks good, seemed like a fair asking price as well.

When you say the swim platform was “busted”, what is “busted”? You can’t just leave us hanging.

Aren't the A25 platforms hydraulic? Seems like a likely point of failure eventually, but pretty convenient again once it's fixed.

One actuator failed and needed to be replaced. It’s still in the shop so I’ll share details once I get the final bill.

Yes. Runs off the trim motor I think. Or it could be the motor cover. Or they could all be together.

Congrats on the new boat! Glad to see another A series out on Lake Wa. Looks like you are moored at Newport?

Boats still at Newport for the winter, but I’ve got a slip on a shared dock east of Luther Burbank. Feel free to hit me up this summer.

I’m starting to get into foiling. Wish I had a huge wake from a surf boat, but loving the a25. I’m looking at skylock racks since they look more stable for foils. Does anyone have recommendations for a mount? Seems like the 3” tube is pretty large and the smaller tube is a bit close. I’d rather not buy something and have to ship it back.
