Default Anyone have any updates planned over winter?

I bought a tow rig to drag the boat around. Also did the following below.

Replaced the sea water pumps with Hardin Marine pieces.
Replaced the spark plugs.
Replaced both bilge floats.
Installed fan in cabin.
Cleaned both K&N filters.
Cleaned bilge
Removed, bead blasted, and reinstalled bilge plugs and replaced cables for oil change tubes.
Installed relay for engine hatch.
Drive service.
Oil change.

Things still left.
Need a couple bunks raised on the used trailer I bought.
Tires on the trailer
Have the extra drive I have checked out (just in case)

Then ill be ready to go for 2013!!!

This is my plans for the winter:

-I'm pulling the top ends of my 525's for a refresh.
-Not sure but I may get some intake and head work done while there off for some additional power, looking to bump them up to 590-600hp.
-Replacing both lower drive housings with new units while drives get a going through and rebuilds.
-Relay for engine hatch.
-New props
-Injectors cleaned and flow tested
Come on boating season!!
