I just realised that you should change your online handle ever so slightly now that you are joining the ranks of us Island owners. What do you reckon, NowHereMan?

| Post subject: | 2015 amas/akas on pre-2015 hull? |
I've got a 2013 Adventure (no Island) and I was wondering about the possibility of using the 2015 amas when building it up to an AI. I know the spacing is not quite the same, as can be seen here: viewtopic.php?f=71&t=52416&start=195 I'm confident that I can deal with the spacing issue. So, assuming that the aka spacing is not a problem, I'm wondering if there is any reason not to use the larger 2015 amas on a pre-2015 hull. From the "batboat" thread viewtopic.php?f=69&t=33992 it seems that there might be some advantages to the larger amas. It's just a thought experiment at this point, but hoping to go to the full AI soon, and this idea crossed my mind. |

I wouldn't do it. You can get a brand new 2014 AI full warranty for 3K from a couple select dealers. Be better off to sell the Adventure and buy the 2014 for far less and a full warranty. |

Be better off to sell the Adventure and buy the 2014 for far less and a full warranty. I hadn't thought about a 2014 with warranty, but that's a good point. I have been looking at a used 2014 AI. The main reason I didn't want to go with that was because I'm a fisherman and I've made many (many) mods to the Adventure, and don't really want to have to start all over from scratch. Anyways, thanks for the suggestion. |

I just realised that you should change your online handle ever so slightly now that you are joining the ranks of us Island owners. What do you reckon, NowHereMan?

Does anybody know offhand whether the front xbar for the 2015 AI (part 79104201) is compatible with a pre-2015 Adventure hull? I suspect not, since the 2015 has a "taller" profile. If that's the case, are the 2015 akas compatible with the earlier (V2) front xbar (part 79512601)? |
