Whew, too rich for my blood. I'd be afraid to use something that nice. The first ding on that exterior or interior is gonna hurt.

The chairs or signs on the dock say Riva. Italian boat builder, started off building wooden boats a long time ago. They now have a full line of high end yachts and runabouts.

On the helm, we used to have it there in the '50's era. Somebody figured out that if you put it on the starboard side it helps to counteract propeller torque and the boat rides move evenly. So now they are all on the starboard side here.

On the boat; no way would I even launch that beauty. Just park it next to the water, load it up with babes (wife not looking...grin) and enjoy.
