Your wife is getting off easy with just a dash panel on the table, I've seen some hillbillys around here have a whole motor sitting on the table....

i would be in the divorce courts in an instant if i tried that one on

Another good one I heard for the first time last year . . .

B.O.A.T. Bend Over And Take it

quick question, is there anything to place over the side for when you pull the anchor and chain up you dont scratch the side of the boat bringing it over the top inside ?
this is a 24 so no fancy winch or anything

With a box anchor you don't need a chain for the anchor to set, put down a towel and long arms.

ah i dont have one of those, i have a Bruce or Claw anchor

well what a journey it has been for us and we are now in the water.
we went from this.....



to this.......









and this is her firing up for the first time with her butt wet
