    Be easy on me please. Total newbie.

    Automotive background helps only if you understand that boats are different than cars. What makes a car go thru the traps in 10 seconds would kill a boat motor. Working on boat restoration, a background in fiberglass, cabinet making and upholstery are more important than the mechanical items...

    Triton bay flight rear seat / box
