Chris gives a full rundown on why he thinks custom outfitting makes such a huge difference in performance. He could just be overthinking it as he normally does though 🤷‍♂️ 😂
This is long form by request. Grab some popcorn and a notepad and enjoy!

Sick boat. Got me thinking about the back band and improving my outfitting.

Love it Chris! I did this to my Rockstar about three years ago after hating the sweet cheeks system. I’ve made some small adjustments over the years, but never looked back from making the switch. Good tips in here…I’m outfitting a Mobius right now (in part on your recommendation) and it has a delaminated track. Can I use that same glue you used for your d ring? Welding or gluing plastic is such a pain.

Hey Jamie, not sure if you want to use gflex for the center track on your boat. Regardless of what you decide to do, you'll have to start by pulling all of the outfitting out of the boat and ensuring the inside of the boat is clean so that whatever adhesive you use you'll get a proper bond. Maybe glue 1/4" minicell on the hull, then re-glue the center track to that? That would be my thought, but just spitballing. Do a little research on what glues are going to hold well, gflex is very expensive for what you're going to likely use it for, with an uncertain level of success.

Nice outfitting tips!!! Do you have any creekboat outfitting tips for the scorch specifically?

@h2odreamsllc216 2 года назад

How so? What are you wanting to learn?

Thanks for the video Chris! I have a power seat in my (new version) Soul Glide and it is amazing!! I’m currently foaming out my full slice as well. I would be curious about your thoughts on back bands in a creek boat/river runner? I typically run mine low and a little loose….I am tempted to use a foam block similar to what your playboat has.

I haven't run something like this in a creekboat yet, but I have had fixed backbands with no ratchets.

@kevinhornbuckle 2 года назад

I wonder if anyone has devised an inflatable back band. It would be a U shaped float bag.

@h2odreamsllc216 2 года назад

@@kevinhornbuckle the problem with something inflatable is that in order for it to be rigid enough for you to leverage off of, it needs to be tight enough likely impeding exit.
