Beautiful.
I really like the "center console". Perfect match.
The white buttons really gives the finishing touch.
Here is my electronic pat on the back. Well done......Well done!

Was that flag original or did you have it made? I need to have one made for the Aqua Ray. Since there is no place to put a name on it, I want to put is on a flag, similar to what you have.

If you had that flag made, please share the source! I'd like one made for my boats.

And lest the aqua gods be ired, change the name of this thread to "...finished (for now)." Old boats and old cars are NEVER truly "finished"! :D LOL
