I am getting the old resin bucket out of hibernation today! Woohoo!!

Taking off for LOTO here in a couple hours to wash 800 lbs. of pollen off the boat cover and get her ready to take out Fri/Sat.

Two weeks ago. Adding throttle-mounted trim switches and getting her cleaned up this week.

I might be getting somebody else's boat out of Winter hibernation if it passes a Survey

Dykstra,

Two weeks ago. Already dinged a prop.

I keep ours in my shop, so it's not really in "hibernation". Just check the oil and fuel and GO!

Thanks. Brad.

Going out on West Bay tomorrow. Air temp appx 79F, water temp appx. 39F. Lots of layers of clothing.

Been working on it for a month now, prepping to clear course on the first river race of the season. Was out doing some water testing a couple weeks ago and the Barnes dry sump sucked up a piece of broken pushrod from last year that finally made its way down into the oil pan I guess. The pump locked up solid and I got to paddle back to the dock 😝. So I pulled the motor, pulled the pan and checked over the bottom end, make sure everything looks healthy and nothing else is gonna wreck the new $1500 4 stage pump. Also installed filter screens on the oil pan, which honestly should have them built in but apparently doesn't. Got the motor in last week, finished buttoning up some upgrades and long running todo's and tested again Monday. Everything working great.

I had ours out last weekend with Eddie Young doing some tuning and everything was spot on, except we found the alternators are getting a little weak and a 2 bad sensors. Pulled them off and they will be like new again by Monday and Donnie @ Offshore Performance Specialties has the sensors being delivered by Thursday. A little bit of installation time and a few hours of washing/polishing then we will be ready for the summer.

Hopefully this weekend! I just got a new lift installed so I am looking forward to not having to deal with the ramps.

A couple weeks ago for us here in Indiana first splash of the year!
