    Bow Seat for an S

    Dano, I considered a bow seat for my S, from a G series model. I took one from the showroom and put in in place. There was about 2 1/2 inches of gap on both sides, it wasn't a big deal, and when I considered the cost, I passed. I prefer the bow access via gate better anyway. Will

    Anyone Still Boating?

    Matthew, I too have been itching for a few more runs before Texas 'winter" sets in. I specifically waited to winterize (2 weeks ago) just in case we get another 65-70 degree day. Today it might get close, but my Bennie is tucked away in a covered RV storage right now. It kills me to drive by...

    Transom tie down straps

    Amazing.....Your dealer isn't throwing in $30 of straps for a $30k boat? My dealer slapped them on with out question after our orientation cruise. I'm glad he did. I didn't think to ask. I am sure it is manditory here in Texas! Will

    What did you name your boat?

    I gave mine the proper name of "Deez Nuts". I wanted something somewhat offensive, and "Nuts" is a great adjective to describe my family. Next to the name is 4 pictures, of me, the wife, and 2 girls, like the little pictures you see on the back of an suv, or mini van. I will snap a picture and...
