Almost time

Well today is at the end of March. Plans are to unwrap and start airing her out with in the first two weeks of April. Once I recieve my boat money I'll be starting my trips to Jamestown distributors and West marine.keel work, epoxying, compression post are among the first few on the to do list.

Been a while

Well went to the Boston boat show last weekend, it really helped the winter blues .Lots of beautiful boats id love to own and live on.one day, right now i have to focus on snow drift.

    So me and my wife are in the middle of buying our first house. So all boat plans are frozen right now. On the plus side i get outboard motor money from the USAA home buying program. So basically she will be worked on starting end of march. Ill be buying all new oak for the teak in a few weeks. Cant wait to get this going

Slacking

Well its been cold, realllly cold so progress on old girl has come to a crawls pace.which is ok. Im gathering up everything i need for the projects ahead.

The wiring replacement seems like it will be a lot easier than initially anticipated. With a negative buss, electrical panel, battery, battery switch, shore hookup all going to be new as well as cabin,mast and nav lights. Its literally going to be a rip out of everything old and replace with all new.

Ive learned a lot more about the epoxy projects as well. The bow has a small area that needs attention. The inside lower cabin, under the seats needs some as well. The biggest will be under the mast compression beam.

And alllll wood interior pieces are being replaced with oak. Cheap,simple and nice looking at a fraction of the cost.

Happy New Year!!!

I got a call yesterday from my boss saying he needed the trailer tires that are on my boat trailer. Oh and by thursday.

So since i borred a friends truck to get my boat home it was up to the little Mazda to move the boat around the yard to get access to the tires. Its a tight squeeze in the side yard. Crazy enough she was up to the task.
