I thought I was the only one having problems. Wax done on two sides of the hull. Transom and deck need to be cleaned and waxed. Prop is on. Fluids checked. All good. A quick test run tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn. If everything works out then good to go.
It does feel like work, it's times like this I dream about a cruiser that just stays in the water.

Where did you end up getting them from.

I need a type1 vest for an infant. Not sure if they even make one. I'm sure when I go back to boat Us they will be out of the Type2 as well.

West marine , go to the web site find what you are looking for then use the check store inventory button, type in your zip code and it brings up the stores nearest you with phone numbers.

Look for Mustang. They make the best jacket for kids.

I found the Mustang Jackets, West Marine has them in stock at the Holmdel location according to the web site. I'll pick it up tomorrow. I'm just curious why there are no Type I's for infants?

Love those ... I remember as a kid being forced to wear one of those classic moldy jobbers and the thing weighed about 30lbs and would have sunk me right to the bottom if I had really needed it!! Maybe Gramps was trying to tell me something?!!?!
