Both of my kids know that any time the engines are running they are required to have their PFD on & it doesn't matter to me what state, country or body of water we are in. I've warned them multiple times leaving or returning to the marina when they "forget" that if I get a ticket because of them that they are going to pay it out of their own money.Not exactly a "did to your boat"...but...
In May on one of the 1st outing on the new to us boat, I didn't have my 12 yo put on a PFD, the Police man pulled up and wrote me a ticket. Totally my fault. "Wait 21 days and call the judge" they said - they couldn't find the Ticket after four calls about four weeks apart. Yesterday they found the Ticket; $336 Fine, or Community Service, or Court Cost +Admin Fee + Boat Safety Course - I took the latter and it end up costing me ~$160.
Took the test yesterday and got 73/75 right on the 1st try and got my Certificate to satisfy my judgement against me.
I guess that is something I did for the boat?
I got my Jewls custom grill stanchion and my Magma grill set up today, thanks to the group at the Shelbyville meet. My wife and I smelling the good food being cooked on everyone else's boats made this a done deal. ?

Looks good - any ghosting under the decals? I kinda want to pull mine, but 5 years and a black hull... I'm a little nervous (and dont feel like wetsanding the whole boat to get it to look good).

Initially it would not read on the dipstick at all so I thought I was under and added a little more when it started overflowing. I later learned that you should run it for 30 seconds to get a more accurate reading, and of course then it’s reading at the max. I really want to learn where this overflow comes from.I guess i don't understand. Why were you overfilling the oil? Were you trying to?
To check the dipstick dunk it in the tube then pull it out and lay it on a white paper towel, it will absorb right to the level marking it. Easiest way to read new oil on a dipstick.
Make sure the oil is warm and boat level when measuring the oil level. It is much less forgiving than an automobile. Above the lower mark is all you need to be. No extra points for getting it close to the high side.Initially it would not read on the dipstick at all so I thought I was under and added a little more when it started overflowing.

Fixed all my oopses. Got a DeWalt buffer this morning and put it to use immediately. Wet sanded last night. Looks brand new.
You have any more pictures or details of that canopy?210 FSH casting platform is installed and in use. I love it. Some minor issues with the kit, but overall really solid and well designed. Sent the wrong color SeaDek edge strips, and four bolts were too short to hold the starboard platform supports. Local hardware store had the right screws, so that was easily rectified.
