Thanks Wood, and thanks Sig, was going to go all black till I saw your boat, didn't mean to steal your idea but it was a great color scheme.

No problem Budski kind of cool to know the Silver Lining will have a twin sister up in Canada. I wish I had gone lower with the black as well and there is a possibility that I may very well end up doing so.

:thumb: Really nice. I like the grab handle in the third pic. Looks like it was put there by SC. Ever closer to the big splash! :D

Looks like perfect color match. And no sharp corners if it gets bumped by a hip or leg. Is the handle out of a car or truck?
