I like the color scheme @mattie .  (I know, it's not a Rinker).  Cute pooch too!

Thanks - The ol fella that ordered the boat was pretty @nal. He took two trips to Cadillac MI to see it in production. He ordered the premier 2014 color option which was navy with tan accents. 
I'm not in love with the tan, but I love the boat.

I refer to the color as 'navy & old man tan' or 'navy & tennant beige'. lol.

@mattie , I think the tan looks good.

This is my girl. She loves the boat almost as much as I do. Web feet and all but can’t swim. Sinks like a stone 

Dream_Inn

goalie, my daughter would never leave your dog alone! She loves the smaller dogs & you have an adorable one!

Sweet!  Looks very much like our dearly departed boxer (except for the tail).  Our Reba was just shy of 15 years old when she passed on.

Thanks Dream. She has been a great dog very loyal and has never caused any issues. She is a hit on the dock

@LaRea He's pushing 14 years and his back legs don't work so good anymore but he's still in high spirits. He gets acupuncture every month which has made a big difference. 

LaRea

If you're not giving him Cosequin, start!  We tried acupuncture and the main effect was to make my wallet thinner.  Cosequin was a game-changer for her. 

In that picture, he is wearing the same smile that Reba always had on the boat!  

Aqua_Aura

He actually could barely walk and we got him a wheel chair but after doing acupuncture he is staying much more mobile and doesn't need the "wheelchair" . It's relatively inexpensive and the vet is really nice and we're happy with them. I will look into cosequin, that sounds familiar. 

He has also had both of his ACL replaced about 5 and 6 years ago so that doesn't get better with age. He's an expensive puppy.

maggs is a 13 yr old aussie = 2 years ago she couldnt  jump up on the bed or in the van = vet said hip dysplasia = i bought steps for the bed had to help her in the van = went to buy the the cosequin and comapred it to https://www.walmart.com/ip/VetIQ-Maximum-Strength-Hip-Joint-Supplement-for-Dogs-90-Count/49222150 = it has a active ingredient thats not in the other so i bought = in qbout 2 months maggs was running -jumping on the bed in the van = climbing back up the swim ladder = like a wonder drug.
thinking about trying for myself
= justa fyi

He's had about 20k on his knees and our last boxer that was a rescue we spent about 30k on cancer treatment which extended here life about 3 years. And people say boats are expensive.

Aero, looks like your aft seating has a white band and the forward seating has a grey band? What does your captains chair have?

I wonder how hard it is to swap? I’d love to ditch my brown and have my seat inserts and helm area redone in grey awlgrip. 

aero3113

My captains seat has a grey stripe. The previous owner only had the aft seating replaced in white for some reason. He said he ordered them from Rinker at the time. I would love for @javhav to custom recover everything in a season or two.

Rosie on our 2017 370. Just picked it up this week. She’s still unsure about the whole boating thing.
