I wish I could take credit for doing the actual work, but what I did was write checks and hit the home equity line hard! Between long hours at work and too many other hobbies/interests/commitments, the only way to get the work done was to contract it out. I just don't like the newer boats out there . . . so many here buy new Grady's which are okay . . . but the price tag for a 20+' Grady is so steep! This was way cheaper than that, and I have the hull I like, plenty of power, and a boat that turns the heads of people that know boats. This may be the last boat I ever own, and if so, that's AOK.
The last photo was taken just feet from my slip on Hilton Head Island -- just me and the dogs going for a cruise! 8)
