+1 on CV23's comments for the most part. The only issue with the helm bench is that it is not adjustable. On another note I did have the bench behind the helm removed for a while because of some other work that I was doing. I did find that you can put a couple of deck chairs in its place...

This weekend we paid $4.39 in Tawas, $4.19 in Port Sanilac and $4.39 at Gregory's Marina on the Detroit River.

Thanks First Class, The ice cream shop is called Marion's. We had a great trip. Left Thursday morning and got back Sunday night. Weather was perfect and smooth seas for most of the way. The boat just purred all the way.

I think once she gets familiar with it she should do fine. My wife was the same way. We stayed on a friends boat a couple of times and she still was not sure. Once we go our own space and got the routine down, she can't get enough of it. (thank goodness).

Bigblock, I think it looks ok also. On a different note, how do you do getting into your boat? Looks like a big step. I am going to have the same situation also. Do you have a ladder? On the second picture of your boat - the slip next to the boat in the foreground looks like he has a real...

Thanks for the heads up. Will probably stop at Port Sanilac or Harbor Beach for at least a refuel.
