Haha that’s very true BG! It never does end there is always something :rofl: but I love my boat! Wouldn’t have it any other way :cheers:
Just when I thought I could relax n enjoy the boat as is.. a mate tries to tell me I need a power pole.. n I’m actually contemplating it
Yep I feel you BG!!! But it’s just part of having a boat mate.

I want to put a plate for an electric on the front of my quintrex bowrider. if I get someone to do it I want to be confident they will do a nice job.

I don’t know many blokes in the trade but the guy who done mine does hire a lot of them! And his workmanship is proper! But he is in Corowa..
