Talking A pier has appeared.

Finally installed my pier (kindly donated by my cousin) after carting it all the way from Gympie to Canberra. Made the adapter plate this afternoon, set the GSO RC8 up for its first ride tonight.
Testing it with some hour long helix OIII subs.

Anyway, without further ado; pics

Looks good Keith.

Now you need the Obs to surround it.
