I have some pics posted in my gallery (v-21), but I'll take a bunch more of the dash.

This year I got a slip closer to my house in Matawan, NJ, and am keeping the boat on the Raritan Bay (lawrance Harbor). There are shipping lanes, tankers, NYC harbor, Statue of Liberty, etc, *nearby. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and didn't want to be tooling around in a 12 year old outboard and have it conk out on me. *It's one thing to get stranded in the barnegat bay - another when the Queen Mary is breathing down my neck. Plus, with the boat 10 minutes from my house now and Sandy hook *25 minutes away by boat, I knew I would be out a lot this year. *Been saving for years for this - actually sold my 65 impala convertible a few years back and earmarked the money for the engine. *
