We also have the same "No orange Cheesy snack" rule. LOL Way to be creative kids!!We have a "no orange cheesy snack" rule on our boat. One of my daughter's friends not in the know brought some dorito and cheeto bags to share. My daughter and her friends got creative in skirting the rules.

Is that a second mirror mounted on the bimini top? I’ve been considering mounting one there. What model mirror is it? Why did you keep the mirror mounted on the windshield?Key Biscayne, Florida. 2019 242X View attachment 102950
Yes, I hooked a mirror to the bimini top, which gives me good visibility all the time to the rear and doesn’t get in my way. I removed the stock mirror, since it’s way too big, and purchased another smaller one that I only use when we do wake board.Is that a second mirror mounted on the bimini top?

Just don't forget to tie those up, before you drive away.
Got it yesterday. The doomswell rep has become the homie. I got his demo for $500. Once you ride it, it's hard to ride anything else.When did you get the El Jefe and how do you like it?
Seems like it's similar to the Slingshot COaster?Once you ride it, it's hard to ride anything else.

I need that spare tire cover, did you just send a logo in?
Can I just add that I MUCH prefer working on my boat. I love a good Four Winns, but it's such a pain to access anything. You have to be Inspector Gadget to reach the oil filter. It's a good think I have unusually long arms for someone 5'10'. You have to blindly replace spark plugs because they're low in the engine compartment, and good luck finding where all the plugs on the water jacket go... not exactly simple maintenance, my arms have the scars to prove it...I've still managed to make it on the water this and last weekend. Just not on my boat. My mother's 1999 Four Winns Sundowner 225 has been in the family since new. Due to financial circumstances it's been sitting dry since it was winterized in fall 2016. I was starting to worry that if it sat for another season the challenge of getting it going again might be much more difficult to deal with if the fuel turned.
Anyway, I spent a couple recent weekends working on it. New battery, reinstalled all of the water jacket plugs, oil change, new spark plugs and a whole be thru hull bilge drain and plug. The 5.7L Volvo fired right up.
