To pimp now or pimp later... that is the question! :D

Congrats mate. The only thing I can see wrong with it is.... it's not yellow, but I'll forgive ya. They all end up black after a few squid sessions anyway ;)

With the adventure being "Stretch" the PA being Fat's the Outback would have to be "Chubb'y", clever little play naming your car in matching colors :lol: . Congrats on the new rig, hope the trips are many and the mojo strong.

GET YOUR LIGHTS ON + YOUR PFD'S.

Happy Sailing Fishing and keep blowing bubbles.
