I went out and looked at my fortrex several times since this posted...
I'm standing here scratching my head trying to figure out how it could happen.

I can’t seem to get mine from bumping up and down a little. When I tighten the leg close to the floor, the unit will not lock in. I have about a 1/4” of play. How can I fix this?

1/4 inch isn't bad. Mine has about that. You can strap it down with the velcro strap, that might help out a little also.
Maybe glue a soft rubber piece to the stand. Mine came with a rubber cap but it kept falling off. I screwed in a metal plug with a larger surface area to mine and that has seemed to work ok so far.
Another option is to cut a round piece of aluminum 1 inch larger than your stand, drill a hole in the center of it, counter sink the hole, then attach it to the stand with a screw.

Seen a oval plate that had the word Skeeter milled out on it. Look good but I can find it now that I’m ready to order one. The man had several for different brand boats. Skeeter,Ranger,Nitro ECT. Anyone know how to find them

Mine did the same.2019 Skeeter FX. Even pushed the silver dollar deck plate thru the deck. Broke the pivot bracket on one side and went down far enough to take a chunk of fiberglass off the inside gunnel. I taped and poured fiberglass thru the hole and then a buddy made me a 1/4 " thick powder coat aluminum plate, maybe 4" diameter.. perfect now

I now know of SIX boats this has happened to. All start with an "S" and end with an "R" with three "E's" in the middle.
If the deck is so thin that a rubber leg will go through them what does that tell you about the build quality??

Tells you don’t buy that year model. Mine is tough enough that I, at 200 pounds, jumped down from a dock 6ft up, landing on the front deck….and not so much as a creek or crunch. My “SR with three E’s” is built like a tank!
