So where do people stand right now with their vessels? Mine is all waxed, still have to change engine and drive fluids, as well as toss in a new impeller, and swap over my prop.. All goes accordingly and weather permitting it might be in the water this weekend!

I was in the water yesterday.I can not lie, I froze my ass off but it was great. Boat ran flawlessly. Next weekend are the OPA Races and I plan to attend. Always excited to get up to Maine.

I'm not quite ready. No engines, no outdrives, and I still need to rig the boat. Maybe ready for the fourth

Did all the maintenance on the Cigarette when I put it away. She's all waxed, fresh fluids and a new cockpit cover. Gonna wait until the weather gets a little better as it's sitting nice and comfy in my buddy's building. Hope to give our 22 Pachanga a good buff & wax over the weekend. That will probably go in first so we'll have something to run up town in.

Got the checkmate out on the slip today, went for a quick rip as the weather was fantastic, under propped I managed 64 without really trying.. All in all it went well! Gotta practice backing into the slip though, the wind kept pushing the nose around on me.. At least I entertained the patrons at Captain Jacks!

Fantastic day on Sunday on the water, saw Kurt a few times with different boats, and also a 25 Warlock that ive never seen before.. anyone know this boat? looked great! the Checkmate ran 64.4 @ 5200 rpm with 4 people and half a tank of fuel on the Mirage 23, i think its time to try a 25, its still a stock bottom end 7.4, 5200 is more then im comfortable with.. weather is looking good this coming weekend too, maybe a few of us could meet up and have a cookout or something? so nice to be back out on the water every weekend!
