Goofy request for pic

Willhound

First of all, Happy Easter. Whether you celebrate it or not it was a great day to enjoy family and a great dinner. Just finished turkey from the Traeger pellet bbq.
Anyway, been all over Google. Don't have a pic of my 2000 era FV270 on the water as it doesn't get delivered until later this week. 
Only good full length pic of the boat I have is the one in my avatar on a trailer.
I make my own wine and port and have a special batch ready to  commerate the launch but would like to make a label, preferably one with a pic of that model series on the water. If a top is shown, it would be black. With radar arch. Anybody got anything they can share?
As a reward you have my undying gratitude and should you ever be this way, a bottle of decent port.

From the outside does a 2000 look much different then later years? I know there is a YouTube on the 270 on the water if you can pull a pic out of that?

Happy Easter, take a look at these?

If I remember, 99 to  early 2003 were the same and then in later 2003 they went to the design with sink/bar behind the pilot seat. Although quite frankly from an exterior shot on a label no one could likely tell the difference.

Thanks @randy56. One of those might work. Maybe you searched differently thane, or I missed it.

Alright, I expect a bottle LOL

Willhound

Oops. Just noticed. No arch. Will keep looking. Would love to get a pdf of a brochure from that time frame. Can't find that either. Maybe Rinker wasn't big on brochures?  If you wanted one you knew it and bought it?

Thanks @rasbury. I've seen that video. Helped convince me it was the right boat for us and great video. Wrong colour though. Two tone hull. I'm rinker vanilla all the way with a single two tone black and gold stripe to denote the 55 Anniversary edition. 

rasbury

Hmmm. I have the original brochure for mine but it was one that covered all their boats. Will take a look..did you think about contacting rinker?

Why don't you just take a picture of your own boat?

Not I the water until later in the week. Wanted the labels done for launch. Only full pic I have from the dealer is the one in my avatar, on a trailer.

@reneechris14 that first pic is awesome! OK if I use it? I  don't have the rocket launchers all over but will one day.

@Willhound, it will be interesting to see your finished product, send a picture please.

Ahh, napatree....  can't wait. We almost cruised over there this weekend. But opted to forego the wind and hang at the slip in Mystic.
