2 Day 25 mile round trip. Nice water on the way down, perfect water on the way back. Now that the SB engine is not getting warm I really got to enjoy it. I mean REALLY, enjoy it. Wife was comfy on the couch enjoying the beautiful scenery. Coffee cup on the warmer next to the helm. And the grunting of those two beasts down there. What a cruise. Took us a few years to get here, but so glad we did this.

Congratulations Captain! Having just purchased our boat recently I know exactly the feeling you’re experiencing. If my wife is not sitting next to me at the helm she also sits on the couch and watches the world go by. I think that is the best reason for having a motor yacht with a pilot house.

Nice... you got to add a sunpad and cushions there are the bow. Makes a huge difference. Just had mine redone a couple of weeks ago

We have two cushions for the seat, would like to get the backs (made). Not sure about the sun pad. Throngs of thongs seem to be in short supply in my life the last few decades......

Re: What a machine....
Sun pads get wet and hold water underneath that eventually lead to blistering unless you have a cover for them or take them in. The problem with a cover is that you have to put in snaps which is more penetrations into the coring. The problem with taking them in is trying to find space to store them. So, no sun pad for me.
