I will be looking to add graphics pretty soon. Right now the boat is factory RED with no graphics at all. I am planning on attending some boat shows to see what style of graphics I like.
I joined SCOPE here in SoCal and I might have to twist some arms to get someone to go out some weekend soon! Being the "rookie" and all I will defiintely take any advice I can get. I also plan on taking a boating safety course and will start looking into that tomorrow.
The other thing I think I should get is some sort of radio gear. At the very least I think I would need a portable radio of some sort. Not to get off the subject too far but can you recommend a good portable radio?
Thanks again for the info.

Re: Newbie question about drives...
Thanks for the help everyone! I will plan on seeing what is over at West Marine with regard to the radio gear. I am going to go out next Saturday (weather permitting) so I'll most likely get some radio gear before then.
I will definitely plan on having the boat serviced to be at a good starting point.
Doug - Thanks for the tip on the Simrek drive showers. I'll check them out.

Re: Newbie question about drives...
Welcome to the board! Congratulations on the new purchase also. Look forward to seeing the pictures.
I have the Simrek drive showers on our boat and like them. The 90 degree pick-up makes a big difference. I think they may be a sponsor of OSO. They use to give an OSO discount. If not see if Trick Marine aka TooOld here on OSO carries the Simrek showers. He has the best prices and great customer service of any Marine dealer I have ever dealt with.
