I actually hate the fin that they put on her for 2011 lol. There's a member on OSE who made one for a PB MG hatch.

I got to meet Scotty Begovich (throttle man) last weekend at the Atlantic City Boat Show. Had a nice conversation about my Daytona lol.

Yeah, I think it's one of those things where you either hate it or love it. No in-between. I like it and was thinking it would make mine look different.

I hope to make it out to a big boat show someday and meet some of the guys like Scotty. That's cool that you got to do that.

I'd have to agree with that. Seems to be the common consensus about it.

Did you ever get your batteries for the boat?
