Wow! You can pimp my ride anytime. Love those Ocean Masters. Used to slip in a dealer's marina that sold them in the mid 80's and was thinking of stepping up to one...but got married instead!

congrats, the boat looks great! Now that you're back in the water, can we talk you into posting some pics of your part of the world, ala Gringo's excellent ongoing pictorial tour of the Turks and Caicos? Hopefully I speak for all by promising not to compare your photo work to his - he's set the bar awfully high.
Actually, comparisons may work in your favor - after all, everyone more or less expects photos from T&C to show tropical paradise, but I'm betting I'm not the only one here that never gave any thought to boating in the MidEast.

tprice - 1/11/2008 11:54 AM Thanks I would like to see how it holds up over the long run, I may do that to my t top one day down the road
OK what i can tell you that the paint is OK so far(been in the water for a year) the red sea is very humid sea(85% most of the year) also it is a very salty sea, if it hold for any thing between 5 to 7 years i will be happy. note that this was my last option after all aluminum treatments failed to do the tower any good
hope this will help
