    96 300 Sundancer wet carpet

    How do we wire for a Compass light?

    Is boat US worth it?

    Thank you for the great advice gents..Apparently, Boat US does not really have great tow or marina coverege where we are in CT. I will check with SeaTow and insurance coverage as well. Regardless, it sounds like Boat US is a no brainer....:thumbsup:

    Is boat US worth it?

    I recieved a brochure from boat US today boasting about ll their services and discounts. Are they real and worth it? I have a 1996 with small children so I would have some comfort in a tow service but I am sort of a newbie to boating so I am not sure what other members recommend. Thoughts??
