			I don't see any new post any more, what gives? I know most of the boats are laid  up for the winter. But there is still things to ask about like  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			What are your plans for next year? Me, I have a list of everything that I have to do before I put her back in the water The first thing and I mean the very first thing is I have to check for a fuel leak. When I fill her up the last two times,I smell gas so I'm going to look at the fittings and hope I find a loose fitting. If not than I don't know but I have a list of things to do. What about you guys?

	Busy time of year with a lot going on for most people, so I understand the slow traffic. When I got my first boat, I made a rule that I would go out at least 2 weekends a month. Stuck to it for most of the year except February. Too cold and rainy, so that was the yearly maintenance month. Mostly water pump and trailer chores. Can t say I ve always stuck to it, but the good thing about a boat, there s always something to do to it  |

			I'm working on everyone else boat each day, so its not anything noteworthy for me to post. I've given up on my V20 due to structural issues. My Sea Hunt needs a little work, but its 4 hours away. My Sea Ray is in the middle of a major redo(getting it ready to sell), but I doubt any of ya'll would be interested in it. I sold my bass boat last week, so its gone. i still haven't figured out how to post pics, otherwise Id post some fishing pics.

			What are you doing to your boat before spring. Since I have a older boat there is always a list that I follow. Just wondering , when I found get to the point of starting my engine it's always a lot of cranking before she starts and when she does ( she always does) it sounds like it's not firing on all cylinders until she runs for about 30 seconds, is that normal?

			Once I take delivery of the 83 I/O from up in N.H. I will have a few things to do I'm sure. Looking forward to it I can tell you! On another note is Reel still around?

			Reel hasn't been on here in a while, he had some kind of password issue a few years back and couldn't log in, I don't think he's been back since. I can contact him for you though.
