I ride a motorcycle to work every day with full gear. today going in at 11am it was like riding into a blast furnace. tonight going home at 9pm it'll still be 105-108ish
welcome to the desert.. but its a dry heat........
and if I was in minnesota, heater, shower and windscreen would be a no brainer....... in GB we used the wind dam somewhat regularly in sept/oct, heater in the evenings(keep a couple blankets on board and pull the heat tube under it for warmth) and shower could warm up wet lifejackets.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

113 in Baker, CA at 10pm last night on the drive home. It’s was warm this weekend. Was planning to stay for today but the wind forecast looked bad and the RV air conditioners just could not keep up.
Dry heat is certainly better than humidity. It’s awesome how warm it is by 6am. Seriously considering a move to Boulder City.

boulder city is nice and not having to deal with the casino/gambling bs is a definite benefit(illegal in the city limits) but the ramp there can be a $hitshow on the weekends. we prefer callville bay to launch from and it's only 15 min from our front door. henderson on the eastern side of the 95 out off lake mead/racetrack/lake las vegas area have close proximity to the ramps AND still close to retail/restaurants without the drive. we love calico ridge although the HOA is a pain in the arse. no boats/rv's on the lots unless in garages but sub has rv parking for about 200bux a year.

I use the windscreen mainly for towing when I don’t have the cover on. On past boats I’ve had cushions fly out with no screen due to the wind tunnel that area creates. Maybe that’s not an issue on the newer boats, but having the screen gives me peace of mind while towing.

We also use the windscreen for towing. It allows placement of boards behind the screen so we don't have to tie things down. I think it is really handy.

I added the screen this season. In northern New England, it gets lots of use. I would say it’s 100% worth the money. My GF says it’s the most important feature of the boat.
Removable seat back, it sounds like is only for the center seat now. That I wouldn’t spend the money on. I’ve used mine once and everyone in the boat agreed that it just makes the boat cumbersome. I find it much more enjoyable to leave the rear center seat in place.
If I were ordering a new boat I would order a surf pipe. We’ve done just fine without one, but wish adding one now wasn’t so difficult.'19 Moomba Craz

here are the options i will most likely be ordering:
high altitude prop. We boat at over 6K ft so we have to have that.
GPS cruise control.
Flow 3 and Autowake
Heater- we boat early and late in the season and it is a must for us.
adjustable seat
depth finder
duel battery
surf pipe
transom step-i've heard it is a nice option for getting in and out of boat on the back.
a few other small one but these are the main ones for us. I made a wind screen for our current boat. Then made a seat back cushion to fit the opening and that does the same thing and adds another place to sit. The removable seat back is one i go back and forth on but most people seem to not use it so i will probably pass on it.Scott
