riverboat Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share #283 Posted August 18, 2013 just another quick update...... I redid one of the catheads to accept some rigging and attached the rope to the anchor rings. I'll try and get the other one finished up tonite. I was a little hesitant on the rope size, but I think this size 1.5 looks a little better than the size they included with the kit, it was really huge! .
