Well it's been a while since i started a new thread what with one thing and another apart from keeping Ken happy in the Boats and Babes section i just don't seem to have much spare time, Anyway i had an idea a few months ago about having some headrests made for the bow seating area in my 2006 AR 230, I thought when the rainy season comes i will have a look at the job and see if i can make a final decision, Well i normally use this time of year to do all the small jobs and also strip the interior right out and and clean all behind the seating area and everywhere i can get to, I keep the boat clean anyway but i mean a real good session, I took all the seating area out and scrubbed everything and then took my bow back supports to my trimming man and had a chat with him, He said just leave it with me and come back tomorrow, Well he's been good to me in the past doing small jobs so i did what he said and got on with blasting the boat cover and cleaning, Here the result I'm well pleased and $15 a side, Fully removable held in with Velcro so easy to clean see what you think.

@Krabi Sunset is that the krabi by rai lay where all the rock climbing is? I spent a few weeks there a few times. One of my favorite places in the world.

Indeed, Krabi province is known for it's limestone mountains and some are bold enough to climb them! I can't think of a nicer place in the world to be boating and I am lucky enough to call it home.
