purchased a 2008 330 express cruiser. delivery tomorrow from Texas. we have been boating for years and this is our first "big" boat. fortunately I have a good friend with a Formula 400ss. twisted his arm for some training learning to maneuver this boat. looking forward to the cruiser lifestyle. Sleeping on the lake. Hiding from the kids sometimes. trying to figure out what all I need to purchase for stock in the cabin. any advice would be appreciated.
