new owner of a 2013 G23

[Scooter G]

Back at you with the start of a new beginning, it will be an interesting year here in the States, not mentioning any particular reasons.
We're about a hard 3 months off from seeing any water activities, maybe hit our favorite cable park in Mexico between now and then, and catch some under water breathing.

just want to wish you all a very Happy new year and safe boating

Well, I heard from the upholsterer today and it will be ready for collection at the weekend. He sent me a couple of pictures of the bow area to show me what it is looking like and I am really pleased. It's good to see some progress now.

So that’s what that pole and straps are for….♂️ Interior looks great! Congrats on the new boat!

[DMS2610]

Yeah your spot on there scooter and thanks for the kind comment. I was thinking the boat is colourful enough outside it might be classier to stay monochrome inside

[Scooter G]

$9500 US plus another $3800ish, if I translated correctly. Well whatever the cost, I really like the combo. Looks like a black & white photo in color. Very soothing & comforting IMO. Nice work man!

Hey Scooter. You’ are looking at £7500 including tax for a good retrim and SeaDek is about £3000. But today it was finished and I’m so pleased, just got to fit refurbed speakers, repaired Bimini and the board racks this weekend. Here is the result, hope you guys approve

[Scooter G]

Tent = Good creative use of resources, lol. Open up the rear hatches for a boost in head room.
Excited for your project, looking good. What's an upholstery job run over there? Love the color combo.

Ditto on Speakersox, Jim runs a quality outfit for sure.

So it's back from the upholsterers today and I'm very pleased…big thanks go to Phil at Marine Trim Limited. So tuesday Sea-Dek are visiting to fit the flooring and when thats done I'll try to get some pics here. When they are here I will fit the newly refurbished speakers back on it. They are not all black, they are gun metal silver underneath you just cant see in the pic.
As it's cold here and Sea-Dek need a certain temp I have made a tent over the boat so we can get some heat in it

I've bought from them before. They're fantastic.

A week or two ago I ordered some speaker and rack covers from Jim at Speakersox in the US. Since I am new to boating I made a mistake and ordered the wrong ones. Not only did Jim post this, reach out to clarify, he even gave me the correct ones at the same price when they were more expensive. What a guy, such great service and amazing products. I got covers for my Roswell Speakers and my Triton V2's. He has other product such as mirror covers, steering wheel covers and so much more if you want to check it out www.speakersox.com he's a very top bloke as we say in the UK

I’m 100% on board with that. We will be lucky to have a fully refreshed and sorted G23. Now is a little tough as I bought it end of season so all I’m doing is work and spend, but summer next year I will forget all this I’m sure

[SANonTellico]

These boats can be expensive to run and maintain but once the weather warms up and you’re out on the water, the last thing you’ll be thinking about is the money. It’ll be worth every penny.

[DMS2610]

Hopefully soon I can retire to Spain and use it 10 months a year

Cool--that's about the same season we have here in Minnesota.
