Let's play Pimp My Boat...
What have you done or had done to a boat you own to make it special? I remember the great job Chuck had done on his tug, making it look better than new. Who else has really upgraded their boat? Include photos, of course. |

Unfortunately the boat was bare bones. It is now loaded with everything except for trim tabs........and I do not need those. It is also a lot safer to take out onto Lake Erie. ;-) |

Back in the day, on my 27' CC Cavalier, I got the ingenius idea to hang a pair of undershorts on the radio antenna, only because I didn't have a jolly roger to put up there. |
