Anyone know if this boy is still active? Everything on his site seems to be sold out. Would love to talk with him.

@dogfishlake was active yesterday, I'd shoot him a PM if I were trying to get ahold of him..

He is still around.

Yep

Man, if you get the 55 racks going again, I'll buy one.

I've got one of your racks on my 62, and it has been the bee's knees.

I had a bunch of racks available but now just have 2 of the 60 series available. More 80 rack parts are at laser cutting now so it should be pretty quick.

After way to long of a transition and recovery from divorce (not in an amicable fashion), getting a business partner out of the picture (in an amicable fashion) , remarriage, and merging Bowfin with my powder coating business- things are finally moving forward!

Wow
That’s a full plate!!!

I've had more request than I thought I would, honestly. The rack for the 55 is great though.

I will try to get some parts coming for it directly

All in a positive direction!!

I'm serious. When you get a rack ready, would you please let me know?

We've written back and forth - ages ago. You run in the same circles as a very good buddy (fishing) of mine out of Cadillac... Karl H. I dig supporting a shop like yours; and what you make is excellent.

Just curious. What was the idea behind the 3/4’ hole in the aft ends of the side plates?

A roller can be installed there. Makes getting a kayak/canoe up in to the rack much easier.

Agree, these are great. If you ramp up some production I’d be good for one, possibly two.

I’m sure you may need some minimum numbers ordered to make it worth your effort.

 

[xtiaan2000]

I am interested in those threaded washers that slide into those cross bars. I want to use them to put in something to capture the electrical for the lights. Do you have those on hand?
Perhaps that’s a MacmasterCar product. I just don’t know what they are called.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Anyone know where I can find these little guys. I am guessing that Mr Bowfine does not have any to sell.
