Does it have a power vent? I’ve never seen an exhaust pipe go downward.
Yes I doubled checked its power vented. I sent a question to modine to see if it's ok.

I don’t have any pictures yet but I just ordered the parts to add the easy fold bimini system to our R5. It was actually really reasonable, I held off even asking because I figured it would be crazy expensive. I guessed wrong. I saw it at the Minneapolis boat show last year and loved the idea because our R5 is a couple inches too tall to fit in our shed with the bimini up. We never used to use the bimini on our first few boats but the last few years we have been using it more and more. I actually just dug the gravel down a few inches for a few feet either side of the door opening for the last two boating seasons. That worked but it was less than ideal... It hopefully won’t get plastered with bugs quite so bad while driving home in the dark now either.

You got it brother!
It’s such a simple solution for an age old problem. If you store or garage, you can now fit anywhere. FYI, I tow with it down. That keeps me from getting a dead bug shower when removing the boot cover. LOL.

Finally got a new tow vehicle that will allow us to travel with the boat. Thanks Wendy.
Now, if we can find the time in the summer to get away.

This summer should be a little less booked than last. My only issue will be when our contractor can schedule a job at our house. We just don’t have a date yet.
If we can’t tow down there, let’s ask Matt to bum an R30 from Pax. (Twin 502s please) I would bet that Matt smile and a couple homemade lemon drops could can get us an A40!🤣

Packy hasn’t returned my texts so we may just have to go plan B🤣.
Siri says you can do it... even if you leave The R7 in her Chalet. Cmon!!
