"What we want to do now is actually talk about components of a quality boat. Some of the things you want to look for when you're looking for a quality boat is the thickness of the upholstery. The thicker the upholstery is and the more you can feel it and pull on it and it goes right back to normal new use is going to show you you're going to have a better quality product. If you look at the dash and the gauges, some of the gauges on boats are quality and they're going to be glass gauges, stainless steel bezels. It's not going to be all plastic. You're going to have nice illuminated Rocker Switches, which will actually show you when the product's on or off. Another nice feature you're going to see in the quality boats nowadays is the snap out carpet. When you look at the snap out carpet, you want to feel the thickness of it. We use forty ounce Berber carpet. A lot of the industry only uses twenty-eight ounce. When you're looking for thicker stuff like that, you're looking for triple stitch backing on the vinyl. These are little signs and uh, things you're going to notice on a less expensive or a less quality boat that you're not going to find out there."
