Mines been out of storage a bunch of times. All I need to do is pull it forward 40 feet:D:D

Unfortunately it hasn't seen any water except for running on the hose.

Been doing a bunch of stuff to get it ready, though.
1. Installed half a dozen guages that had cloudy lenses or were not working right.
2. Rewired my fuel tank senders and installed new billet vents for the fuel tanks.
3. Installed a big 3rd battery
4. Installed a new stereo, amp, remote, speakers and prewired it for the next stereo upgrade. Its gonna get another amp, 2 or 4 more speakers and a pair of subs next year.
5. New purple Isotta steering wheel.
6. New bigger billet cup holders.
7. New flush mount stern light--had to take off the swim platform to cut the hole.
8. Buffed and waxed and cleaned bilge.
9. Had my mechanic fix the shift linkage/detent ball and replace a shift cable on one drive and service both drives.
10. Filled it with fuel today at the station where the price hadn't gone up yet $3.54/gallon compared to $3.69 everywhere else. I saved enough to get a bottle of Li'mon

I guess I'm about ready. Just need to clean the cockpit vinyl and might wait until after the first outing to do a real good job on it.

Had a good run today, a bit windy! Went to a tiki bar down the bay and stayed there most of the day. Only burned up $131.00 worth of fuel. Still below $4.00 at the marina:cool-smiley-011:
