Looks good, but extend that sucker out
I believe the correct term is anti-sucker

Absolutely will do. I needed a firm mounting base to attach the boat tail to. I picked up the stainless for a sweet price and it was already that size. Now I know how to make the brackets so the lower attachments will be easier to make.

I am planning to make a lightweight lexan or plexi boattail which will either knock down flat or detach in seconds using Dzus fasteners. This way If it's longer than the bumper, parking would be simpler and the whole thing could be removed if needed.

I'm hoping to design a model in sketchup if I have some time but building it may actually take less time. I built the little wing in about 3 hours.
