CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD!

This owner's manual supplement provides specific information about your boat
that is not covered in the owner's manual. Please study the owner's manual and
this supplement carefully, paying particular attention to Appendix A: LIMITED
WARRANTY. Keep the owner's manual and this supplement on your boat in a
secure, yet readily available place.

Dealer Service

Make sure you receive a full explanation of all systems from the selling dealer
before taking delivery of your boat. Your selling dealer is your key to service. If
you experience any problems with your new boat, immediately contact the selling
dealer. If for any reason your selling dealer is unable to help, you can call us direct
on our customer service hotline: 360-435-8957 or send us a FAX: 360-403-4235.

Boating Experience

If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar
with, for your own comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and
operating experience before assuming command of the boat.
We strongly recommend that you take one of the boating safety classes offered
by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. For more
course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact
the organizations directly:
• U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777) or on the Internet
at: http://www.usps.org
• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at:
http://www.cgaux.org
Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federation or local
yacht club can advise you of local sea schools or competent instructors.
CONTROL HAZARD! A qualified operator must be in control of the boat at all
times. DO NOT operate your boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Structural Limitations

The transom platform and bow platform are designed to be lightweight for proper
boat balance. The load limit for these platforms is 30 pounds per square foot,
evenly distributed.
