Yesterday was a nice day for most of the day so me and my buddy decided to take the boat out for a quick cruise. I put her in on wed and made the trip from the marine to home no problem (minus the gale force winds). So yesterday i fired her up and let her warm up for a few, as we go to take...

So i found some nice marine vinyl at joannes for about $15/yd some padding, and...
