IMHO....It's a PITA to clean but I would keep 4 & 5, we probably use it more than most though.

Bob, we think the same! 4 & 5 could be good to keep for stepping on when taking on fuel (the boat will be on the trailer but sometimes one needs to take on fuel when in the water). On the other hand, I often drift in the middle of the fjord swimming from the boat - will they be uncomfortable when getting into the boat again?
How hard are the 1-3 to get off? Any tricks?

EDIT: I See we use our boats the same way (except our dog does not fit in the SS)... She weighs in at about 120lbs.

Nils,
I made up a rope ladder that I hang from the ski-pilon, as long as I use that and plop my butt on the anti-slip it's ok. I have "rashed" my knees climbing back aboard before getting the ladder though.
I imagine the careful use of a good hot hair dryer would make removal a bit easier.

Bob, ok I'll have to either pull my self up on the side like I did on my previous boat or use the engine as a step.
I'll have to look into the peroxide as I don't want to damage the gel coat... Careful heating won't do it?

EDIT: Bob, I was so tired when I was on I read 'hair dyer'... Sorry!

I would prob. just take off #1. I like the black on it and feel it off sets the red a little and has a practical application as well.

Nils,
You might consider making some room for your Newfy Girl. Just may come in handy at some point.
We trained our Portuguese Water Dog for Water Trials with a Newfy Club the boat towing exercise was a real eye-opener. :shock:

Our PWD water guy...originally bred in Portugal to work on family fishing boats. Used to guard the boats, set nets and carry messages between boats before radio communications.

Bob, you have the right boat for that beautiful dog! Very cool lion cut! I didn't see that it was such a large dog at first... I must say that the XS2003 looks a fantastic boat!
The problem with our dog is that she loves boats and cars and just won't leave them... Leave a car door open and she jumps into the car... You can try to wrestle a not willing New Foundland out of a car... That is circus clown material just there!
