Spring 2018 - what are your plans
In the spirit of starting the new season atleast up here in the northeast. What are everyone’s plans in terms of pulling the boat out of storage? Uncovering? And first runs of the year?
we are pulling ours out of storage April 28. Gotta work on some things. Hopefully splashing 3rd week of may!!! Hoping the weather co-operates!!!!

Buff and wax. Fix the Suzuki sims gauge and hook the nmea 2000 up to the garmin.
fix the tank level sensor
Get the engine cowling repainted and stickered
Fix the subs and or amp, rewire some of it, possibly build new boxes with flush mounted subs.
Maybe do engine service.

Dropping motor in today, pulled all hardware off of transom and color sanding then will buff. Bought a second boat two weeks ago and having a new trailer made currently for that. Stereo guru coming over today to fix and fine tune the stereo that has never worked.

Considering the coin I spent on this new eggbeater, I am hoping for a couple hours of break-in and prop testing, followed by 7 or 8 years of trouble free boating.
