    I’ve learned that the reason for your clearance issue is due to the front leaf springs. On those old txt’s the springs become weak. All you have to do is install new ones. Learned the hard way

    I don't see a link to the seats you used. I don't think the seat belt is standard on the EZGO, did the ones on yours come with the seat or with the body kit? Love the look, I have 5 older carts in our fleet and with the cost of new carts going up it looks like this would be a great option to revitalize these old ones.

    Can you tell us the cost of the base cart? Plus upgrades? I think about doing this but I dont want to put 9 grand in it and I can only get 8 grand in return. it would be enjoyable doing this for resale but i dont want to lose money.

    • @projectkarr
      @projectkarr  29 днів тому

      Honestly if you’re looking to buy, fix and resale you’re probably better off finding a sub $800 cart that needs batteries and cleaning. It’s difficult selling these carts when you can buy new ones for $8k.

    Most likely I'm too late but the transom looked tight to the center pontoon....being a plastic do you need some sort of padding between the to to avoid friction cutting the pontoon? BTW nice project....also next time you glue your flooring try "flapping" the vinyl as is laying face to face creating a cushion of air allowing you to "push" the vinyl into place.... sounds crazy but it works... I've handled very large cuts doing this.
