[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 424029, member: 21536"] Huh, I had just submitted a reply but it appears to have got hung up or something. Maybe I got timed-out and I was kind of distracted. If it shows up, I hope I am at least consistent Congrats on your first boat. I suggest that the first thing you focus on is making sure you understand and have everything you need to safely use the boat. Before putting a lot of time and money into it, consider using it to find out how you will use the boat, what you like about it, and what you don't like. Don't need to paint it to do that. Shoot, your boat looks pretty good and you may decide not to paint it. I saw in an old catalog that your hull weighs in at about 220#. If that is correct, just get a couple of buddies over to help move it off the trailer. I use a bimini and like it a lot. You will see many comments that they don't provide shade unless the sun is high. That is true because they are open sided. However, I find the for most of the day my bimini does a great job of providing shade and cooling off a hot day. However, even with the top up I would strongly suggest hats and copious amounts of sun block. Have fun with your new boat. [/QUOTE]
