thanks alot man, i think is so subtle you have to look at it for a min. but in the water the difference is gratly noticeable... still think i sould have put a gost flame in the stripe. but the clear on the boat is crazy expensive. so i guess its dont. the boat that is..

Weeeeeellllll......  Its always on Fathers Day Weekend.  It has been at Buchanans Resort on KY Lake for two years but were looking for another locale thats more to our liking (ski friendly) and still centrally located.  We were working on Southern Indiana but havent heard any news of late.  Hopefully we'll have it figured out well before Spring.
