 Free vise grips
I took the foam out of the front deck on my 1838 today. It was easy with the rotating nozzle on the pressure washer (thanks Renovator). It looks like Warren Coco threw in a few free pairs of vise grips. Has anyone else found these when they took their foam out?

 Re: Free vise grips
Call him up and see if he wants them back. Maybe he'll throw in a spare prop.

 Re: Free vise grips
Don't do it.... It's a trick that coco does to see if you pulled the foam out. Only he and Giga knew the secret of the vice grips. You're screwed now!

 Re: Free vise grips
Is it even welded or is the whole boat held together with vice grips and foam?

 Re: Free vise grips
My buddys had the same thing when we removed the foam. I thought it was a accident. Maybe they do that so they do not need to weld the brace. The foam held the vise grips in place.

 Re: Free vise grips
I've had this argument with buddies before. Why remove foam? Weight, storage, less flotation, or just looking for xtra tools?

 Re: Free vise grips
Vice grips are cheaper than welders….
