Facilities Mgr. for JCP&L (retired) :party:

Finish my boat!!!!! She's sitting in my buddies shop ready for top coat!! Just haven't had time.

Nothing til it gets warmer, then wash and wax hull and take it in for the e tecs check up. Eggnog, beer, rum bourbon, all in moderation!

:beer:

Great Youtube video!

Replace floor
 

Last year I got the engine running great.

This year: New floor, new dash, rewire...

That should keep me busy.

Starting the floor tomorrow!

did a lot with the gunnels this year, now I'm thinking I should tackle that 30 year old transom....ooooh ...I went and said the T word!

no wiggle in it but the bottom where the transducers have been mounted over the years is definitely soggy.

thinking about cutting just enough of the cap to get at it and dig it out and fill it with Arjay.
problem is, once I cut, I have to paint to make it look good....project creep....

reality is I should skip a summer of fishing and become one of those old dudes who works on his boat all the time.

A boat needs the same attention as a woman right down to the last penny!!!!:oh:

Don't do it man. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If the top of the transom is good just let it go. Unless you have somewhere indoors to work on it doing a transom outside during the winter would suck. It would be really bad to miss a season of fishing.

revise my statement about switching to Bourbon, its 80 degrees here today, were going back to beer and if it gets any warmer, I'm pulling the cover off the pool
