Wallpaper April 2010

Yeah, spring is definitely here and launching of boats is now upon us; you cannot beat the blue skies, the warmth in the air, the smell of "springness", the arrival of the first buds and no ice in the river.  This sunrise, taken on March 17th, truly captures the beauty of the 1000 islands and the arrival of the boating season 2010.  Download your April wallpaper by Clicking Here  SPRING COMMISSIONING SHEETS AND CANVAS As we are gearing up for full launch, and if you have not sent us in your Customer Spring Commissioning Sheets, do please note that launching of your boats will be on our schedule.
