I was wondering if anyone else is behind the curve on having the boat ready this spring. I got wrapped up with a whole lot of flooring that is putting me way behind :-[
Anyway, the motor is still in the garage waiting for a little sanding and paint and the boat is next to the house waiting for a Whole Lot on filling, grinding, sanding and painting. This 80 degree weather this week is not helping my attitude. My goal is to back on the boat stuff by this coming weekend. I just figured I would see who else was in the same situation.
 
I too have not done a thing on my boat. I am redoing our kitchen, another week or two and then the boat gets my attention. Bill Mc ;D
 
I too am chompin at the bit to get my first cruise in...,recall in some of my previous posts i've got an alarm/warning signal that needs to be addressed.It's going to my mechanic wednesday for a thorough inspection/tune-up.I want a clean bill of health and a new ''baseline" to start with.I do have a 15 duranautic w/ 15hp evinrude so I have gotten at least one fishing trip in [didnt get any flounder, but it was a nice day on the water] Really needed that after the extended winter we had.
 
well if the weather is any good, I will put in about a week or so?? I have a couple of days left to tune a few things and get all my equipment aboard.
 
I am on go . If we get a brake from the wind this weekend I will be out there . Went down to the marina and filled the tank last weekend . $86 for 30gal. *&#$ !!
 
I will be at my club helping everybody ELSE launch their boats next weekend. Hopefully mine will be ready a couple of weeks after that. But I have a good excuse!
 
I am way behind the curve, half my deck hardware is pulled off the boat, the deck is all sanded and ready to paint. Still gotta get a new axle under the trailer. Even got inspired to paint my boat......almost. Still a ways off
 
Did I mention I was ready. ;D Just a jab. Got some trailer work too. We did get 25 Spanish last Saturday. They are running good here in the panhandle.
 
I'll be in the water next weekend. I got the boat ready. Now I need to get the boat in the water so I can finish working on the trailer. Hurricane Isabel cut the season short on me last year and I didn't get to finish replacing some of the rollers on the trailer
 
Well, I finally finished the flooring in my house, so now I can get back to work on my boat. With any luck I can have the motor painted by this weekend. I am shooting for Memorial day to have her done. I have alot of work to do, fill all the stress cracks, holes and paint her up, some rewiring, new cable boots and a few extra little things. That's alot of work for this time frame, but that's my goal.
 
I just found out today that I have two more weeks before the bracket arrives from Armstrong :P. They're painting it (Whisper Gray awlgrip). I should be in before Memorial Day still though.
 
Hey Shicks...YOU CAN DO IT!!!It's like the man who ate an elephant :o...one bite at the time...

CT...this may be too persoal, but are you "gettin' wood" over the new stuff comin' in?....bracket sounds cool!!... 8)...where's the motor?... ;D...
 
I am, it's going to be great. But I'm going to start getting frustrated when guys on the docks start bringing in striped bass and I'm not even in the water yet. The motor is in the shed at the shop, ready to go. It's actually a new '03, not an '04 like we thought. I don't really care, it's new and it has a 2-yr warranty!
 
good things come to those who wait!!

Just think, when its ready its ready!! all new and you can go when ever were ever and not worry!!

I have one more good day of work and I will be ready!!

I did the sliding hatch yesterday, installed the Bimi top, and fixed the windshield support.

All thats left is, load gear, touch up the bottom paint, hook sterring and start motor
