Gorgeous!
That last pic looked like the flag was attached to the boat for a second.

Welcome from Texas, Bender. I'll agree with whatever the others said.
+1 on Boat Bling HotSauce. Especially if you water has a lot of calcium.
+1 on 303, cleaner and protector.
Some of these gals and guys are addicted to photos. They're likely jonesing right now!

Welcome bender from down south! Yes, nice! I too like the boathouse! Nice bow roller match! Not yet settled in on what is best prod here for my black hull so no guidance at this time. The folks here can lend a hand at damn near anything so don't hesitate to ask. Best wood for no purpose whatsoever (I sell wood), best meat and cheese pairing with red or white...or with Cheetos, diagnosing engine crap and perfect off center loading trailer loading, how to keep adding kids to your flock, how to sell shiny used cars for big $$ to strangers, where to go in Canada for best geese sightings and lots of other stuff, and boat stuff too!

I think you hit almost all of it including how to hide in a garbage can on a boat.
Welcome aboard. As you can tell we are a close group

Big Block Power, she has a 5.3L V8, 300 HP Volvo-Penta with a F5 duoprop. Love it. Very torquey, at the same time plenty of top end. On her maiden voyage I had 12 people on the boat and it did get up to 45 mph. I didn't push her real hard, still breaking it in, but quite pleased with it's performance all around.
