Re: Anybody know where I can get decent tie down straps for the rear?

MHYPITBOAT, I had trouble with the gunnel strap sliding off the back, but found I could...

Re: post pictures of your bowrider here!
Not quite the same but still a bow rider, dual console to be specific. Ran her from Jacksonville, Fl to Savannah, Ga last year, and this year from Port St. Lucie to Ft. Lauderdale for a week, 100+ miles each way, each trip.
Re: Safety chain - Turnbuckle - Photo

I purchased my boat new in 2008. It's a SeaCat 226DC, with a 1/2 tower. I keep forgetting to lower the VHF antenna after a day on the water. When I realize my error, it's after I have broken it off.

Is there anyone out there that has actually taken a boating safety course by any recognized boating authority?
There are so many boaters on the water doing so many stupid things that I am wondering if anyone besides me has actually taken the time to learn to be safe.
I am not a professional...
