Engine is the Volvo Penta 350 hp with the EVC. I ordered her the end of July, took delivery 9/26. Wife and I may try and sneak to Lake Powell in January for a quiet weekend on the houseboat and do some sight seeing that she's never seen but have to see what Mother Nature throws at us this winter and see what we get for good weather windows. Popped the Easy Drain when we pulled up the ramp, gave her a bath when we got home and got the interior cleaned up and getting ready to put her to bed. Water temp was 65 and too cold for my bones but the kids toughed it out and had a blast. Had one other small boat on the lake pulling tubes but think the kids got cold or he got tired of my wake and left so we had the lake to ourselves. Headed to Highline State Park Sunday morning only to discover it closed for the boating season 10/1.regrouped and headed to Sweitzer Lake State Park in Delta. Pulled her over the passes to Grand Junction.got my hull letters done.but still working on a name. Windy and chilly.water temp was a cool 67 degrees but they did it. My initial float was done with my dealer at Chatfield State Park in Denver.kids were bound and determined to wakeboard behind the new ride that day (9/26). This can cause staining that may not be able to be removed.Sorry ya'll.it's getting cold here in Colorado already. Extended contact with petroleum based products.Pressure washing due to the risk of shredding or cutting the mats.Sharp Objects like knives or tools dragging across the surface.The damage usually looks like a wet spot (a little darker) and over time this will blend or weather back into the rest of the mat area and become less noticeable. If this happens to your mats they are not ruined. The best way to avoid this is to cover the boat when you are not using it or in the case of the Snap-it Series Mats, remove them. This is a very rare occurrence while actually using the boat, but if you leave your boat on a dock, lift or trailer and the sun is at the correct angle this can occur. Much like a magnifying glass certain things on a boat can cause focused light which can cause blushing or burning of the surface on your MarineMat. If you notice an indent in the mats when you remove your cover from the support pole or any other area where something with some weight has been sitting for an extended period, that mat will rebound over a short period of time back to its original shape. If the boat will be stored uncovered and in the elements, remove the mats and store in a head compartment or other storage area of the boat. The mats will perform best if stored snapped in place over a dry clean deck and under cover when not in use. The mats are designed to be wet while in use or for cleaning, but not stored in water or on a continuously wet deck. Snap-It Series Mats should be treated like snap-in carpet. Excessive continuous exposure to sunlight and water will decrease the life of your mats. MarineMat should be treated and cared for the same way you care for vinyl marine seats, carpet or other floor coverings. It is however best to keep your boat, kayak or other vehicle covered or stored indoors while not being used to extend the life of your mats. MarineMat is very resistant to most weather conditions and is designed to be in the elements while being used. Once dry, reinstall the mats or roll them up for storage in a compartment or cabin of the boat. Let the mats air dry by laying them flat or hanging them up. Simply remove the mats and set them on a driveway, dock or deck and use the same method as in the boat. Water and debris may get trapped underneath and damage your deck. Remove Snap-It Mats periodically to clean the underside of the mats and the deck below the mats. Work the cleaner into the stain with a stiff bristle brush, brushing with the grain texture, and rinse with a hose to finish. It is always best to clean or rinse away any spills as soon as possible. Although Marine Mat is stain resistant, certain things, such as food, wine, fish blood or grease may stain the mats if they are left in contact for an extended period of time. Boat washing soap or other mild detergent, water and a hose works well. Regular cleaning can be accomplished by simply washing the mats with mild soap and water and a medium to stiff bristled brush.
