Summer around the corner
 
I am sitting here in my truck with the a/c running, looking out at a beautiful sunny day that is almost a boatable day. 60 degree's this weekend. It will not be long. I can't wait to back on the water so I will not have to get my fix at a keyboard.

I'd be screwed if the weather wasn't as good as it is right now. I don't know how you guys do it when you have 2 to 5 feet of snow all around????

Right now, my boat is all but a bare hull. Motors and drives out to be cammed & refreshed, new dash, etc., etc. I am re-working or replacing everything from the cabin doors back.

I'm thinking about leaving the windshield off and doing a custom cowl-like deal instead.

Also, that modification would involve cutting down the top of the deck at the rear of the boat, cutting off completely were the "J" curve is (at the back sides of the windshield) and tapering that "cut" into the rear of the boat...

I can easily handle it as I ran my own shop for over 20 years.

I love the boat, but right now, without the windshield on, and if you squint real hard, damn it looks cool! LOL!

Whoa, so about summer being around the corner............................................ ...

Just saw weather report for Sunday. 70 degree's just down the road from here. It is tempting to go out!! But still some cold days coming next month.:boat:

Summer? What a frickin joke. Puhleeze. 74" of snow in the past 5 weeks, we can't even get around without getting stuck, and we're only half way through. To me...winter is just around the corner.

Dave M 02-06-2011 01:50 PM

No, it will not be before the first week of March until I have time to go, as we are staying there a while to test different props and dial the boat in to our liking. You will see some pictures of the testing here on OSO. I also need to buy a new truck to tow the boat around.

bigboat28 02-07-2011 10:02 AM

We are shooting for our first boat trip to be April 9th to Kellys Island early bird. Hope it works out. Sure seams like a long ways away.

ElimiNordic 02-26-2011 06:18 AM

Alright, It is going to be 80 degrees in GA today and that means rooster tails, hundreds of dollars in gas, and the official start of boating in the South. See you out on the freakin water. Finally!! :boat::boat::boat::party-smiley-048::party-smiley-048:

ElimiNordic 03-18-2011 12:27 PM
