Interesting concept. Where'd you find that bag?

these bags are from the brand BLUE PERFORMANCE

http://www.blueperformance.com/index.html

they produce bags and tissue components for marine applications (mainly for sailing but usefull also in powerboating), they have a plenty of distributors in the world, the bag I have costs 32 euros. I had one on every boat I owned.

They are built with a very robust fabric and a nice to see manufacture. I have bought from Osculati a marine components distibutor here in Milan but you can buy also on line (e.g. http://www.ilmarinaio.com), search a distributor nearby you, surely there's one... :wink:

you're from MD (mmmmmmmmmmm......aryland?) this should fit for you:

Started getting ready?? I've been out 3 times this year already! Water is still too cold, but it has already hit 70 degrees on Lake Lanier in Atlanta! :mrgreen:

Nice to have the sun, music, beer and breeze. Not to mention the lack of traffic on the lake this time of year. All that was needed was a new impeller on the generator.

How long have you had the 358 ? Since it's your first post, we all would love to know, and see pictures of the beautiful 70 temps on LL.
Didn't you have a Tahoe bowrider before this boat? Quite a jump if that's the case. How is the Talon running ?

I like the concept also, and will proably look at adding this to the list to hold documents, etc.

Just got the 358, which explains why we've been out on the lake so early! Going out again this weekend and will take some pics. Weather should be just around 67. The slip is just 7 minutes from the house, so I'm sure I'll head over weekly until the novelty wears off.

Neighbor just bought the Tahoe off me, but I'm sure I'll see it every weekend during the summer months.

I feel like you are stalking me or something since you know so much about me already. :shock: LOL (google search??)

Talon needs a new bearing to get running again. I think the ACT2600 clutch was too much pressure for the main thrust bearing. Wanna buy it off me? I'd love to take the money from a Talon sale and spend it on my new toy.

I'm excited to be a member of this forum and have already learned a ton from this site.

Hell yes. The spending has started. New carpet and helm wheel this year. I always absolutely hated the "race car" steering wheel that came on our 04 268. Picked up a nice stainless piece from WM. The destroyer. Really cant wait for that first trip to the Chesapeake City Inn on the C&D. Mojo will be ready April 15 for splash in.

Just back from Target of all places with new stuff for WineDown....nice, comfy folding chairs for the swim platform, flatware, storage bins, grill tools, and some pyrex storage/cooking/serving containers. Then the whole family spent about an hour on the boat (on land) just listening to tunes and relaxing. Good times.

Weekend update....new LED all around/anchor light installed, new stereo installed (the 10 year old helm remote works perfectly with it!!), and new deck chairs tested. Next weekend it's the new sump pump and changing out all of the spark plugs on the engines.
