    I knew a fisherman in the 70s with a boat that had a similar helm podium stand. His name was Captain Quint.

    The boat behind it, in shrink wrap, looks better.

    You are going to need a security guard to protect you if you go to the Miami boat show...….

    We will have to start an over-under of how many times somebody will "accidently" bump you off the docks into the water...….

    I found a pair of 36 x 14 burgundy swooshes on the web for $22.

    Looks like it calls for two per side though.
