I think a boat needs more attention than a woman.........A boat usually runs more consistenly than a woman anyway. Oops, did I say that ...

you can walk away from a boat and it won't cost you a dime

Need to finish up a few small things, but those small things add up.

-Get my back to back lounge seat back from the upolstery man

-install hatch latches in my new hatch covers

-install nav lights, thinking about some shark eyes port and starboard

-see Spareparts pics of this Bertram 20 he's talking about with the new top his friend built and consider throwing more money down the hole

-think about installing I-command guages

-buy and install a garmin chartplotter/depth sounder and vhf radio

-install new teak trim in the cuddy

-put new trailer lights on to keep someone from crashing the etec

-think about how everyone who has trim tabs raves about how great they are and cringe when I think about drilling into my new virgin transom

-Take her out on the nice days!!

Bradford--

Do the I command gauge and get the chip for the gauge-I feel best insurance for that E-tec-it allows several more options on the gauge--trim tabs, fuel gauge etc--it allowed me to take several gauges out and put my 5" chartplotter in my dash.

I am rewiring after replacing the old glass fuse holder behind the dash with ato fuse panel with 15 power sources--can shorten my wire runs for accessories, maybe a new dash panel if I get carried away and got to figure out why my running lights are blowing the fuse. All running lights are led, but think it might be the new tilt up light on the radar arch--to tight going thru the top hole in the arch--oh well, did 4hat one to myself.

Maybe even work on the side storage boxes.

Welcome to the site Diver. We love boat porn here so if you have some pics of your boat we'd love to see them. But in all cases, welcome aboard.

Trip over the hull, been using the overturned hull to hide parts for my mud quad build.

The cap is on scaffolding right now. Using the cap to hang quad parts for paint.

And I have also been using the trailer for painting parts. Mounted the tongue jack onto the trailer rail and turnt it into a coil spring compressor.

Love this one.

My winter to do list is find Skools and kidnap him for a day to get my motor tuned.
