Default Slow in here ~ Winter projects?

Got any winter projects you are working on? I know of some stuff happening on my end & some stuff othere are planning.
Here is my list:
I'm going to finish the stereo I've been working on for 2 seasons now.
I'm going to install some more interior & exterior lights.
Replace trailer bushings & bearings, take a look at the breaks.
Install more push-pin cleats.
Fix the shelves I broke at Conroe.

They have just come out with a bunch of new LED products for weatherproof cockpit lighting and such. We've put some in the latest ATs.

There are a number of different manufactures of "the basics."

Accon comes to mind, and some of the big parts houses like Dana, CP Performance, and the like have a lot to offer. You just have to dig around a little.

In South Florida, its easy--as there are so many boats built in the locale; they have "boat builder warehouses" which are like Home Depot for boat parts. You just walk in and stroll down the isles and pick out things you like. The latest items pop up there all the time.

Fixed some snaps on the carpet last weekend down at PBC

If the boat doesn't sell, in the Spring I need to push the down button on the remote and go boating.....

Just a drive shower so far.

I'd like to get a trailer before spring, but been slammed with work and haven't had time to do the research.

When the warranty is up, I may look into the extension box/shorty setup.

Maybe take a good long look at the bottom as well. -As much trim as it takes to run good, feels like I'm fighting a hook.
