[Rhodes22-list] Mark Putnam - comments

 This is what I'm wondering, too ... I don't think my boom car moves (if it's what I think it is, and I'll be looking at the boat again tomorrow to confirm).? I'm pretty certain it's fixed at the end of the boom and doesn't slide forward like in Elle's photo.

Todd,

Your setup looks like mine.  The boom car in your photo does not slide
forward, right?  Do you also have one that slides forward like Elle's?

Elle - Do you have a car like Todd's that stays at the end of the boom?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Hank
