np it's easy once you've done it a few times...

ya put [   IMG   ]  in front of the link (must be the actual picture link and [   /   IMG   ] after it... only with out the spaces.  If you hit quote on the posting I did with the pictures you'll see exactly how I did it.

Only $1799, I thought it was a good price and the guy that builds malabu boats in Vernon builds the bodies so you know its done right.
