I knew a fisherman in the 70s with a boat that had a similar helm podium stand. His name was Captain Quint.

The boat behind it, in shrink wrap, looks better.

You are going to need a security guard to protect you if you go to the Miami boat show...….

We will have to start an over-under of how many times somebody will "accidently" bump you off the docks into the water...….:sifone:

I found a pair of 36 x 14 burgundy swooshes on the web for $22.

Looks like it calls for two per side though.

Google delivers. Search words "Boat Swoosh."

Kinda odd one guy isn't wearing a life jacket and no one has eye protection.
