Ed, I had to use every angle I could to get the new boat. Just kidding, my wife is a huge support and loves the new boat, she is a little embarassed that we only had the last one for 8 months. The opportunity for us to get into the '07 LSV was perfect so we jumped on it. Of course I must keep my list of mods hidden for awhile, but she likes the swivel seat mod so that is next.
I will put the pad on right away so that we won't get the dreaded black marks on the nice new upholsty on the new Grillobius (smart thinking, and well documented on the site). She has already signed on for putting it on as soon as we get it so we don't ruin the new upholstry. She also thinks getting some extra for step points, like on top of the gunnels, is a good idea.
Before long my whole boat will be SeaDek'ed out. I hope grill drippings won't stain the SeaDek. (LOL)
