    If you could have ANY boat...

    Ok, dream time. If you could have only ONE boat, but could pick anything available... what would you pick? For me, it would be a Regal 3360 express cruiser. Love those lines and the additional front windows. A lot of folks might pick a bigger cruiser, but IMO I like something manageable...

    MapSource or BlueChart

    Can someone tell me the difference between these products? Both are for Garmin. Also, can I assume that a region specific mapsource would have more info than the "U.S. inland lakes" version? Otherwise why buy the region specific? Thanks.

    Gel Gloss

    Anybody heard of this product? Comes in a pink spray can and looks like an easy way to wax/seal fiberglass.... Saw it at Lowe's and wondered if it'd be good for boats.

    To clean interior... what to use?

    Interior fiberglass floor around cockpit/helm, etc. Should I get a mop damp and use elbow grease? Vinyl upholstery What about armour-all wipes? Stainless steel rails? Any particular cleaners at the supermarket I should specifically avoid? Thanks.

    Canvas enclosure and boat cover

    Can anyone show me a link to a place that carries these for a 1994 3055 Ciera? I have tried I-boats, all the google links, etc. If not sold, what can I do? Doesn't custom cost a small fortune? Any suggestions? Thanks.
