This weekend I'll put a few more touches on the TG. But for the most part I am DONE. I do have to say the boat looks like "my" boat now, and it looks 95% like a new boat off the showroom floor. Here is a list of what has been done and a few pics:

Plus alot of little nic - nack stuff that was done "on the fly" and I simply can't remember.
I am sure I did miss a few things.
Now that I have this pic of the stern, memory gets a jolt: I replaced the drive shower hoses, checked drive alignment, took apart all the stainless pieces and buffed them out, had the tabs and tab mounts clear coated. . . . . . .
More pics of the motor box. If you look close, check out the shine.
Now that is a Frenzy shine. The detailers here locally have been SO impressed with Frenzy, our marina now sells the product. But they sell out very quickly.
Despite the list, the boat was in VERY good condition to begin with. Most (99%) of the items on the list were not necessary, but I wanted to change / update / preventive maintanance things.
Now it looks like a boat I just bought off the showroom and has "my" touches!
