I'm using Google Chrome and the link doesn't seem to work. So I have to use IE to get it to paste. Chrome wraps (IMG) and things on the URL. I'll have to look at it again to see what you are doing.

Yes boty is out of the botm's for the year. Chrome is a pita to do pictures with I always switch back to aol. Then I can copy and paste real easy.
 
I hear that brother! It keeps trying to decide what it is that I want to do. And I get tired of trying to find where to stop that.

Sometimes App's can be aggravating trying to be so "helpful". Damn things. Just let me do what I am trying to do. Don't try second guessing me.

Frustrating!

Well, summers about over. The lake is being lowered for the winter. Time to stir the gas tank, oil the cylinders, lower the out drive and cover/garage the boat for another season. Got to keep my water borne Cadillac looking good for another season.
 
One has to wonder, given the pursuit and money poured into Checkmates bought with restoration issues, what something like mine which is turn key would bring to a prospective buyer.

I don't know about other boats vinyl, but I condition mine regularly and it maintains a soft supple feel. Plus the white stays bright. It is actually very soft. I have felt other boat vinyl and I haven't found any with the same feel. Does anyone know if Checkmate used a different vinyl not used on most boats? When I first made the commitment to buy it the salesguy (idiot!!!) put a battery charger on the battery and set the charger on the rear deck pad over night. It left a circular indentation on the pad that didn't go away for almost a year. I think the heat and cold cycles, plus the conditioner finally worked the spot out. I thought it was permanent. That's how soft it is.

When I bought the boat it came with a heavy vinyle cover. Did Checkmate sell these with the boats? It is a nice cover I must say!
