RE: Summit treestands
I bought a Summit Viper XL last year and I love it. I made one change though, because the viper xls doesnt have a removable seat but has a seat that hangs down lower than the viper extreme, I got two quick release seat hooks from Summit and put them on my viper xls. Now I can remove the seat and it hangs down lower. Also, removed cloth covered pipe insulation because it started to retain odor and put new insulation on and wrapped it with split bike tire inner tubes. I left a bucket at a bike shop to get old inner tubes for free so I wouldnt have to buy them. This also works well to wrap the metal bars on a stand to quiet it.

Hi Will,
Even if you don't post ever again....we've got you covered buddy! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Welcome to the board.....you definitely won't see a higher concentration of Summit users anywhere......love em'
I'll soon be on my fourth (Saber,Cobra,ViperXLS) and finally the 4th when you get that new " Goliath" into stores......IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Finally a bigger stand for us "skinny kids" .....At 260lbs and loaded with gear it's hard not to dwell on the 300lb weight capicity of a stand!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Never felt in danger but it's in the back of your mind.
I have a question if you might be so kind as to answer? I know the Upper portion of the "Goliath" is made wider all around.....but your rep. at the HArrisburg Sport Show recently told me that the platform is the same? How can you up the weight capicity rating on the 'Goliath" if the platform is identical?
I'm going to get one either way just for the added room, but this puzzled me a bit?
