The bimini, boat cover, and snap-on bow cover are all made of black sunbrella material.
Boat has been stored outside. I have a Costco structure that I park under during the winter.
Auto ballast is a reversible impeller pump based system. There is 1 ballast puppy mounted under the rear seat that feeds the fly high Pro-X bag under the rear seat. I had a second pump that fed the Pro-X bag in the trunk, but I removed the second pump and the trunk bag to put in my new boat. I left the switch and the wiring for the second pump, so you could easily restore the 2 bag system by purchasing a Pro-X tube sac (fits nicely in the trunk) and a new pump (Tube sac is $130 and a Johnson pump is $180 at Wakemakers.com). You could also just buy a sac for the trunk and tee off of the single ballast puppy for both bags--I did this for 4 years with no problem, just a little slower than having 1 pump per bag. I also have a bag that you can have that fits nicely in the cooler (the space under the rectangle cushion in the bow walkthrough), but it isn't hooked up to a pump. Finally, I have 300lbs of sand bags you can have that I kept in various storage spaces. Fully weighted with the rear seat sac, trunk sac, cooler sac, and sand bags you are running ~1200 lbs of weight fully hidden in compartments.
Give me a call this weekend if you want to take a look.
