    And finally, I'm not giving the name. The windows provide the clues...

    But wait, one more... this is "Bellissimo". It was built by Vantare. There's a few of them for sale in various sizes on YachtWorld. I'm not familiar with the brand, although I know they were built in Taiwan. Anyone have any insight? These appear to be a good bang-for-the-buck in the used market, but... it could be a "get what you pay for" thing.

    If I remember correctly, this yacht was recently featured in a print mag... (I seem to remember the pastel blue). If it's the one I'm thinking of, it really was a "surprise" gift, birthday, or anniversary or something.

    I had no doubt you could name 'em Maarten! ;)

    I'm working on a rewards program for members that we'll implement in 2006. It will consist of goodies from marine manufacturers in exchange for their product being featured. If they don't ante up, I'll pay for it myself.

    The reason I'm doing this is because some forums use the knowledge of their members to benefit their publications. I think this is a crime! Why should a magazine making $500k a month in net profit be able to further profit from the knowledge of their forum members?

    Rewards will be based on several criteria, including the number of informative posts, the most helpful responses, best coverage of an event or a yacht, best news, images, etc. It will be up to members of the forum to vote on who recieves each month's award.

    But first... there's a lot of code to finish up around here! :eek:

    Yes true

    No we are still up by commercial. New River is hard for us as we have a 10ft draft, although we've been up there a few times.

    Just got back from a drive through blowing snow at -16C. Brrrrrr, darn ragtops don't keep the heat in. The tour was a great way to warm up. Thanks.:)

    Yep! I thought this one would have thrown a few of you. Not a typical Broward.
