I stuck my right hand into a nest when i was about 14. It taught me to always look under everything before I pick it up. And to hate scorpions. Finding 56 in my yard would wig me the hell out.
Remember that show Fear Factor where people would do bat$#!% crazy stunts for a $50k payday? They made those idiots get in a big long box and then dumped scorpions on them. I don't get the heebee jeebies very often but seeing that made my skin crawl.

Welcome from Texas Markus.
Just a note. Although the group seems very helpful and stayed mainly to your topic of conversation, that is usually not the case.
Other then John the admin. I am really the only sane member of this forum.
What a special boat you have coming. It will be great.
The guy telling everyone he's not crazy is usually the crazy one. Got my eye on you Drill

I think it's funny Driller always points this out. It just goes to show you about a Texan. I mean, really? How does he know John is sane?
I'm not the only one !

Markus,
Welcome. I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist on seeing this boat. I don't care if it's in cave. The picture could be completely black but knowing there's a boat in there somewhere will make us all feel better.
Turtles, snakes and scorpions.

John may not be sane, but he is the administrator. Always best to stay on his good side.
In addition, i only "occasionally" point this out, not "always". It's just good to remind you guys / gal every once in a while.
Then when I share my "Texan sage advice" it carries a little more weight.
Sane or not, Iām still waiting for my first opportunity to suspend or ban someone
"Looks around nervously".

Why is everyone staring at me?
Seriously a miracle I'm still here.

Ha a! Someone told Driller "Texas sage is good scents" and he thought he said "sense"
That's okay old buddy, we still love you

Hi everyone, attached is a picture of the boat being purchased. Consequences of early posting before ownership be damned! The other two attachments are the Samson Sports Blade tower. Asking for advice on aesthetics. Going with blade tower with custom Cobalt logo'd base shown in picture in matching Cobalt blue bad or good idea? I am not going to do panel insert with "COBALT". Will have matching Bimini.
Sorry I can't add anything on scorpions. All ours have frozen.
Markus.

Dangit! They were there on preview before submitting post. File size limit? More likely operator error. It (the forum) does appear to only allow me one picture at a time I will post the pics consecutively.
One more thing. I searched the forum for finding a bow filler cushion but did not see anything definitive. Can this be accomplished by most boat upholstery repair shops?
I am reposting my comments on tower for ease of following post.

Oooh I like that tower! I think that would look nice matched to the navy blue on your boat. I agree that the panel insert is a bit much since the logo is already at the base. Also feels a lot more closed off having the gap between the bars closed off.
