mmhmmm... I'm supposed to be writing my thesis right now, and all I can think about is the boat!

[blr]

thesis smishish - go boarding!

[Ruune]

I know, I know... and we start our monsoon season tomorrow.

your boat looks great man

[Hoots]

gorgeous boat. glad you finally got it wet. good to see DW earning his pay.

minor note: I moved my mirror to the port side windscreen so it wouldn't block my forward view. If you're not going to get a tower-mounted mirror you may consider that also. Any feedback out there on that?

Congrats! enjoy it.

That is one good looking boat, I really like the color combo.
your going to have a kick a$$ summer.

[Ruune]

hoots... yeah I did the exact same thing when I got home. Actually my brother did it. The racks are on it now too... and I'm in the middle of the stereo installation, hoping to have everything but the subs going tonight.

So Ruune, I got an all black 22V coming in a few more weeks. How has that red/black combo been on water spotting?

[djdc]

Ruune---- that's a nice ride. What lake is that and what lake do you go to.

[Ruune]

thanks guys- As far as water spots, as long as you wipe it down every time, it doesnt get too bad. I use something called "The Absorber" (available at pep boys), and wont be going back to a leather chamois again! Also, I use Ducky water spot remover for the stuff that gets on there when I've been out all day.

Now that I've said that, you might want to invest in a transom guard. Noob boarders have a bad habit of letting boards scratch up the transom... and black shows scratches pretty easily.

That is why I make them put their boards on in the water. : )
However, I was looking at investing in some 3M paint protectant @ http://cms.3m.com/cms/US/en/2-168/czuzlFH/view.jhtml

I bought some of that from Cabelas It works great. I've got some
11-13 year olds that ride with us and I know its saved my transom from scratches.

bigD - Excellent to here that it worked for you, did you apply the film yourself? I was under the impression from the 3M site that you had to take your car/boat to a professional applicator. Could you post some pics of the installation locations when you have time?

Ruune - Be sure to let you know and post pics of before/after the installation.
