Yep thats the plan try and get out there and enjoy the rest of this season. Plenty of time over the winter to mess with interior redesign. Just need to create more useable boating space. Will probably pad the hatches as well. Make everything modular and easily removable if we chose to. I have seen Tatonka forsale for a long time, just leaving it out there to see if anyone bites? That is a sweet ride, what do you see for speed with it? It is probably a similar hull to ours as it was one of the last McManus 41's that were carbon and kevlar.

Man I love your boat. I got to see it when it was at Racine Designs. That is one bad ace ride .

Thanks for the kind words guys. We got lucky, 6's were in pretty good shape all things considered. Prop shaft seals were shot and we drained over a gallon of water out of one of the drives. Craig said they look pretty good, we should have them back soon. Valve springs are done, pulled helmets to do bellows. Spent 4 hours drilling out a seized trim cyl pin, no fun there. Still have a bunch to do, shooting for water in about a month.
