Oh yeah, forgot the boat insurance for another $240. So $747.99 on top of the check I just gave the dealer and I should be gas and go for the rest of the season. Not too shabby. ---

Picked it up tonight. Big thumbs up to Bill’s Boats. When I bought the boat it still had the old tape deck head unit in it. I was planning on replacing it until I got it home and found that they put a brand new JBL Marine cd player with aux input in it when they took it through the shop after I bought it. :tup: ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9267&stc=1&d=1241746654](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9267&stc=1&d=1241746654) Nice boat.

I may see if I can get it in if I get creative with the trim. Maybe if I spit on it. :uhh: ---

> [@dubbin91](#): > > Fry, you will enjoy it…Glad you had a good dealing will Bill…hes a good guy. His whole family is. off topic(its nyspeed what did you expect). How do you like the xterra thinking about one as a DD you can pm me if you want. I get around 17 mpg year round, almost entirely around town driving. Otherwise it’s good. Not a single hint of a problem in almost 2 years and 25k. The 4.0 V6 has plenty of power (260hp 285 ft-lbs). The seats that fold down into a perfectly flat hard rubber surface with a quick one handed pull is all sorts of handy. The 6 speed stick shifts well for a truck and the clutch has that nice Japanese “I’m going to last forever” feel. So yeah, I’ve got nothing bad to say about it. If you can swing a 2005+ that’s the way to go. Prior to that they had a few variations of motors ranging from 4 cylinders to supercharged small VQ’s that all sucked. They finally got their act right with the VQ40. ---

> [@Pauly](#): > > That spot under the peace bridge (left side) by the harbour Blowssss. I missed the entrance after a few (too many) and found out how shallow it is(like 3-4 inches) (theres a friggen rock ledge). I Also got the benefit of learning how to change an aplha one outdrive case due to cracks when you’re under the peace bridge heading out toward the lake and you look at the wall/walkpath you should be able to see rough choppy water even on the most calmest days. there is a buoy at the end of the underwater rock/reef/danger > [@Fry](#): > > So how does one get boating supplies for cheap? I’m guessing that like with anything ebay/amazon/whatever.com is generally cheaper than the local boat store? Don’t shop at westmarine. Sure, you can browse around there, but I’d say 99 percent of the time CME or gander, or an online outlet will have it for cheaper. ---
