Wi eee Se Add to your b The following is the last in a four-part series on boating. This week's article takes a look at customizing your craft and the various extras you can pick up to lend that something extra to your summer boating experience. Half the fun of owning a boat is being able to customize it, to make it a little different from any other boat. Not unlike a new automobile, a_ boat comes with most basic equipment in place. Let's consider the average stern drive runabout as you will probably see it on your marine dealer's showroom floor. Your future family boat is sitting there, gleaming with newness. All chrome cleats and deck fittings are in place. Navigation lights are there, properly wired to that three-way switch on the dash. Engine controls are located conveniently beside an adjustable skipper's seat, and the wood-grained wheel is hooked up to a rack-and- pionion'§ push-pull steering cable that feeds back to the outdrive. Ignition switch and basic non reflective instruments' are mounted on the panel. Lift the engine cover and you find the powerplant neatly in- stalled, fed by built-in fuel tanks and battery.

You will also discover the -convertible top where it drops out of sight into a channel with side curtains stowed and snap fasteners in place on windshield and deck. This, then, is probably your basic boating package, scarcely a stripped-down model, but that's usually what's included when the dealer quotes his price. Add a few life jackets, lines, fire extinguisher, paddles and such and it's ready to pass a marine inspection with flying colors. Bul once you become hooked on boating, and begin to regard your pleasure boat with affection, you will soon discover that there's a great deal more to a boating rig than the standard package. This is when you start wandering around marine dealer ac- cessory displays, flip through boating magazines for new gadgets, or drop hints about a neat spotlight when your birthday approaches. You will soon covet a stereo sound system with tape deck that would sound great as you cruise along. You will check the merits of various types of horns; electric horns, air horns, and those that sound like the last judgement has finally arrived. A mooring cover is a must, also a camper top that will transform the cockpit into a roomy, enclosed living room. You read that your boat model can be fitted with a super stern swim platform plus boarding ladder.
