your list is an insane amount of work btw.
Those pictures look familiar, this was only for a couple days.


It is an insane list, if it takes longer then expected I might very well be taking a season off next summer!

Man, oh man. Your tenacity for the many projects that boat has needed is admirable. Keep it up, it will get there.

Since it sounds like i am making it through this round of layoffs...
1) repairing blown drive, refreshing the other
2) transom replacement
3) engine refresh/upgrades
4) bilge work (led lights, new bilge pumps, clean up rigging, additional batteries)

1. Winterize, change all fluids- maybe send the props in for refurb.
2. Clean it within one inch of it's life prior to storage- with no less than 3 coats of wax
3. Take a bunch of pictures for cold weather review and dreams
4. Pray for the shortest and mildest winter in recorded history
5. Get the excuses ready for the wife regarding the volume of fuel that is used
7. Get it back in the water in March 2015

Thinking about adding a retractable stripper pole to the bow. Not sure if the wife will ever let me take the boat out by myself anymore though...

I'm going to have my swim platform painted in another color. Instead of having it being yellow. I'll have it in red. Seeing that I have red graphics on my boat and it would just look better. If I have the money get a cd player as well.

It's gotta be because we have "half" a paint job. Projects, never done.

Boats,, like a woman, love 'em but damn, sometimes enough is enough.
