Sheets....

On the "to do" list before spring. I'm thinking of trying a standard off the shelf set with a fitted mattress. I'll try the elastic clips/suspenders fix to hold them in place.

Anyway, for those that do this, what size? I'm thinking king or queen. Just not sure.
 
We are a bit obsessive compulsive, but on the anchor locker door there was a void in the gel which let the surface pop. This was a flaw we of course knew when we bought her in Sept '21, attached is a before and after - not 100% perfect, but the ugly is disguised. For anyone in Mich and on Lake St. Clair, Alan from Quality Fiberglass has always come thru for us with exceptional results. And...she finally has shine too!

I used queen sheets, which are just a tiny bit too small, but the suspenders still keep them in place.

My mattress is a total of 8 inches high made out of foam in memory foam custom, I use a king sheet I put the corner At the head of the bed and the other sheet corners fit the widest part of the mattress and go down around the bottom then I just pull the drawstring and it holds it in place but it is a king size you may even want to go to California king which is a little bit extra big but mine fits perfect with the 8 inch mattress. The guy I bought the boat from had the mattress made and they made a custom fitted sheet for it. they charged him 500 bucks, and why they made it in a white sheet I don’t know ! I use the sheets off the shelf in a dark blue. The sheet you see on the top is not fitted , it’s a flat sheet it tucks in pretty good it works great

Did you buy the 390 at bay point , last year ? It’s a nice boat, I was docked at Bass haven
 
Mirror image is great they do a great job was Matt the person you talked to also I think the owners name is jeff. you will love the boat . I’m putting on the drop fins on my trim tabs! Everything I’ve read on them will improve the running attitude , also I think you have a bow thruster ! There great to have , mine also has a stearn thruster ! But I use the bow T more. In mot the expert but if you have any questions about the boat just ask !
 
You should cruise 22mph at 3400 rpm it’s a great leisurely speed , but the boat really like 36-3800 rpm at 24-27 mph , it’s quick clip !
I believe with the drop fins it will change those numbers. Also hoping to use much less tab , I was and still might extend the tabs 2inches to 24 x 14 that would also increase performance, and tab use .

I sold my 03-340 to someone at Belle mar ! I almost bought a 03-380 from a guy there but didn’t have title in order !
That’s a reall nice marina , I like the drive up docks that great

I might be hitting you up with some as it gets near spring. I'm 2 1/2 - 3 hours from there so I haven't even traveled down since I checked it out briefly after it was put away.
I'm impressed with Mirror Image at this point. Dealing with Dan mostly but I did meet Matt as well. I'd use them yearly if I was closer.
This is the first boat with thrusters for me. It also has both.

If you want inside heated next winter up there you should look now. Things are a bit tight

I'm on the Algonac Yacht Club waiting list. The gal I spoke with said she figured I'd make it based on annual turnover. I'll probably get on the Belle Maer list too. I haven't bothered to check out the building there, yet. I hate even leaving the house in this God forsaken weather here.

Blueone we need to open a business for inside heated storage/strip club .
Come sit or work on your boat and watch or hire the strippers to do the BOTTOM PAINTING AND BUFF AND WAX
LOL
 
M. I’m putting on the drop fins on my trim tabs! Everything I’ve read on them will improve the running attitude

I put drop fins one my 320DA which is well known that the tabs are too small for that boat. The result was stunning - was NOT the same boat. I could plane at 2800rpm and not die without it was dying at 3200rpm... and responsiveness to even small adjustments was crazy. I haven't read that the 390 trim tabs are similarly ineffective like the 320 was, mind you, i've only had ours ~4 weeks before haul out but it seemed pretty responsive??
