Have you seen the new Connelly fin box?

[Horton]

The old and the new

 

[MattP]

About damn time. I like it @Connelly_Skis_Inc !!

[Gloersen]

@Horton - both 67's?

the tail of the new GT appears a bit wider?

[Horton]

@Gloersen optical delusion.

[ForrestGump]

I might consider a GT now! That old fin box made me want to beat myself in the head with a hammer.

[Gloersen]

@Horton - the new GT in that photo above appears at least to have a beveled top edge (compared to the 90° top edge of the prior GT) above the already thin sidewall through the tail. Will that give it a little tail lift through the turn comparatively?

 

The topside view of your photo sure makes it appear so (the angular deflection of the graphics along a bevel above the sidewall), and doesn't appear to be the same as the GT tail pictured below ('16 GT with '17 graphics?)

 

 

ride it and tell us about it.

@Horton Looks like the new fin box has some shims on each side of the fin?

What about the shims on the center clamp screw, looks like one shim is missing and the screw clamps on to nothing?

[JAG]

the next obvious question, "will the new fin box fit my old F1?"

 

I'm having a hard time with the mallet, getting 2.499999999" depth, which I know will get me into 41 off.

@Gloersen The bottom surface area is identical to the old GT. That ski isn't even areview ski. It is just a sample. The point is they finally got a new fin box.

 

[Horton]

@DanE that is another optical delusion. What you're seeing there are just reflections. There are no shims.

[Horton]

@rpg I think so.

Sweet! Shout out to H20Proshop for getting me a 2017 "blem" (I still can't find the blem) with the new fin box for the same price as a left over 16.

The old fin box made me want to hit bonehead in the head wit!h a hammer also!
