Congrat's on the center console!!! You'll love it and I'm sure Terry will take care of you every step of the way. My two cents for what its worth is stay away from matte paint. You can't clean it(easily), wax it, or touch it up. It looks cool, but it's been a pain in the a$$ on my Cig.

I appreciate the feedback Bubba, here we refer to it as matte or satin, in essence it's a base coat black w/ a non-glare type clear coat so it's still smooth, can be cleaned & cared for. Several auto manufacturers offered cars in the finish I'm speaking of. I've seen several BMW M series cars in it.

So what made you want to switch from the cat?
Hows your bro's car working out? He was saying he had a bunch of issues to work out. Has he got it sorted?

The plastic rubrail w/ the steel insert seems like it more for looks than purpose on the nortechs,,,, congratulations on your new boat

Basically I just wasn't getting the use out of the skater. My 2 best boating buddies both had their 1st child, work required more of my time, no one could get the time off to attend events w/ me or they could only fly in so that meant I had to do all the towing solo, there are 2 local lakes but let's face it the Skater wasn't a raft up boat, I got tired of the small cockpit, no ability to get out of the sun & or basic creature comforts. Basically the cat didn't meet my needs & my lifestyle wasn't a good fit for owning just one boat & it being a cat. I spoke w/ OSO member Orthobaumrecently & he said he uses his cat to go for breakfast or an occasional blast down the lake & the cruiser to get out and relax w/ the family. Unfortunately for me I only had one option & that option simply didn't jive w/ my change in boating style / needs. The Skater was a great boat & I enjoyed some great rides in it but as I stated previously in this thread unless I nail the Powerball #'s I'm pretty much going to be a 1 boat, boat owner.
My brother recently relocated to NC & also works at HMS. Over the past 18 mos he's basically worked his way from bumper to bumper addressing most of the items that were not to his liking or lacking the attention to detail he was in search of. Overall I think he's pleased w/ the car & is anxious to get here ASAP where he can enjoy it much more as well as attend new events w/ it.
