Look at what i pulled out today....

Ahh its that time of year again. Time to detail the boat...and i thought my truck was a lot to wash

We're making a trip up to the the lakes this weekend to get the boat summerized and open up our cabin. Cant wait, should be a nice weekend but only in the mid 60's. I plan on getting some 0-60 videos in the boat .



Anybody know a good product to clean up the seats? They are all white and they show dirt pretty easy. I dont want something that will make the seats slick though either.

I've had good luck using Mr. Clean Magic Erasers on my Nautique vinyl believe it or not! Usually gets a good amount of the crud out of the texture! Another thing that has worked well for my is the clorox wipes you get for your kitchen counters, etc

I too started doing the same as you on Friday - took my friend for a pull yesterday evening in the MAYBE 50 degree water too

My baby:

Tell me about it. It just sounds AWESOME. We test drove some with the mercs with the bravo 3 mags and didnt compare up to the Volvo. Its the quickest boat outta all the boats we tested, im telling ya, it gets up and moves.

No doubt, excellent choice! V/P engines are some of the best going! CrownLine = high quality boat too

Yeah thats what we were told. We love the boat. It has the best interior lay out of them all at the time we looked last year. Kinda wish we went to a 24' but then you loose speed and agility. This one seems perfect. It picks me up women either way

That's what I love about living in south Texas, I use my boat year round. I have never had to winterize or summerize either of my boats and have had zero problems arise from not doing either.

I remember a few years back going fishing on Christmas Eve in shorts & a T-shirt and catching some nice small mouths.

Our place is right beween West Lake and East lake Okaboji. Right where the bridge is to cross. Awesome Location, near the bars and main attraction within walking distance....of course unless your too drunk..then you have to drive JK...

Its Iowa's "great lakes". There are many people from around the country that have vacation homes here. I cant wait to get some pictures this summer and post them.
