    cleaning products

    so what kind of products do you guys use on your boats to keep them looking nice. I noticed a couple guys at the lake spraying their boats down and wiping them off right after taking it out of the water. what do you use on hull, interior, and glass (I assume glass cleaner) ?

    boat name opinions

    was thinking of a name to put in the new boat. my current thought is "Almost Grown" folks who know me regularly hear me say "you gotta grow old but you don't have to grow up" plus it is a line in a Chuck Berry song and he was one of my favorite artists any thoughts?

    I had a best day of boat ownership

    so after some years of sailing and paddling I have taken the plunge once again into power boating. last night I became the owner of a 2018 Stingray 208LS. I have looked at boats in this size range for many years but never pulled the plug. I know I have to get razzed for buying new but the...

    Browning vs Beretta opinions?

    figuring out boat value

    So when you guys go to purchase a new boat, what tools do you use to figure out the value of it? Many owners around here seem to not like my method of using NADA. Everyone wants to bring out KBB. KBB is written by dealers in order to show inflated prices for items so they can offer you a...
