Not yet they aren't says they sold out the inventory and are working on a new design.
Gang here probably bought them all....
Hey all,
Been busy this week with my boats? bow casting deck. After a lengthy planning/ hand sketching stage of my structural components to tie in the deck itself and incorporate supports needed for the 2 consoles [that are just hanging there] was a bit tasking to say the least. Remember that I severed the dash board creating 2 separate consoles to allow a walkthrough the width of my existing windshield. My chum is a retired civil/structural engineer, so he advised me with pointers/criterias before I came up with the last and final draft along with a few pop ;]]
Soooo , I cut and fitted some 2?x1/4" AL angle and channel and ripped some 2? x 4? kiln dried p-t from a local specialty lumber supplier. Same place I ordered the marine and exterior ply for my transom and decking. Here is the link to the KDAT lumber I used.

Pre-fitted all below deck support trusses [lost count of how many ins/outs of the bow that this took] before fastening them to the outer/upper inside support bow ribs. Thank you dual bevel 10? compound miter saw for some pretty interesting cuts to both the wood and AL. I swapped out to an old carbide blade for the AL cuts, worked great?who knew! For the fear of having ?squeaks? I lined all contact points between lumber and AL with healthy pcs. of outdoor grade, dense foam. Fabricated and pre-drilled all L shaped 1? wide fastening brkts from 3"x 3" x ?" S/S angle I purchased from
www.metalsupermarkets.com Fasteners used were 2?x #10 S/S hex head screws [used for brkts to lumber] and ?" S/S Huck Magna-lok structural rivets from
http://acerivet.com/magna-lok®-rivet/ [used for AL brkts to AL ribs] all with a healthy dollop of lock-tite. I have to say that, the IF-1 is a sweet, must tool to have and worth every penny..?clamped those ?? S/S behemoths thoroughly and without fail.
