Well that's not good! I'll need to give them a call.

what's with the yellow tape I've noticed in many of your posts that seem to be on the aka's and the mirage drive. Is it a radar deflector, trial paint scheme, a coverer of blemishes, an identity scheme?
And the answer is...
an identity scheme!I have had two AI's originally Red and Yellow so everything was color coded to what went with which boat. I used the Yellow so everything Yellow was adjusted for me and my preferences.
Since then friends have bought AI's, some stored at my house, so now we have Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple and Black. If we travel together in my truck (I can carry up to 5 on the rack) all the parts are color coded so the right parts end up on the right boat, and back to their owners. My latest AI is the Purple boat.
Also we have added a three foot long 2" wide ribbon banner to ID the boats on the water (and makes a great apparent wind indicator!)
On my website
