New 195s question.

Might find myself sleeping on the couch indefinitely if I spent what either you spent on your coolers.

LOL...Well luckily it was the Wife that insisted on the larger cooler since we spend 5-6 hours at a time on the lake with friends. She liked this one since it had a divider that you can freeze. A His & Her side.
I also splurged and got this SeaDek cooler cover with my Boat name from www.usatuff.com to dress it up a little.
Where does the spending stop and the boating start?? LOL!!

Ha! I'm sleeping there anyways for some reason or another, but wife will throw out the lunch of the turkey sandos or anything less than very cold.

Anyone doing any Wax, Collinite, 920, Meguiar's whatever or Upholstery sealant before you drop the boat in the lake for the first time? I think I have my routine set for getting it out of the wet dock for it's monthly cleaning and wax, but anything I can should do from a cleaning and wax perspective before I drop it in? FWIW, this is my to-do list

Install Keel Guard

Install Thrust Vectors

Install Anchor Kit

Switch shipping cover for mooring cover

Change out trailer license plate

Install Domed Registration [HASH=5657]#s[[/HASH]/TD]

Attach wake board rack

Install Stolz Roller

Install Bow Guard

Wax?

Upholstery Sealant?

I took a closer look at it, I may have to sleep on the couch for awhile.

So we took her out yesterday for first time.....wow. 4 people on board and we hit 40 quick!! I will say around the dock took some patience with steering to get the hang. I do have the Thrust Vectors ready to install but wanted to get a feel for the boat before install. Had a blast for a few hours and got it back on trailer in 1 attempt. Once mooring cover arrives this week I will move her to her wet slip. All in all I love this boat!!

Yes, after sputtering around for awhile for the break in period. Gave me plenty of time to try to get acquainted with the steering of the boat.

Anybody using plastic containers to store things (walk things to the boat) that fit well in the storage areas in the front or back?

For those with the Yacht Blue, what did you do for registration numbers? Seems like black is standard but white might match better? If found this website but I'm sure there are others. I just want it all in one strip vs. trying to line up letters .

I did 3" white from the same company, above the rub rail.
