    Wow, that's a good one! I especially like the 61 knots part.

    A brand new aftermarket: Inflatable sway bars, high performance low cavitation screw (propeller to the non nautical types) a fathometer ipad ap, live well insert for the boot. Any other ideas? Oh, yea, for night travel gotta have navigation lights: three range lights on the mast, red light port and green light starboard. Sorry, can't be creative with those and have them match the rest of your vinyl. Gonna need deck cleats for tying up to that mooring buoy too. If you get beyond sight of land you'll need nav charts, gimbaled compensating compass, marine radio, flare gun. My gosh this opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

    I'd remove that long radio antenna on the back and replace it with a US Navy flag (instead of the stars on the US flag, it has the Navy anchor) on a short teak post.

    Perhaps a spinning radar bar as well and a stainless arch for antenna and GPS receivers!
