I'll be in the water next weekend. I got the boat ready. Now I need to get the boat in the water so I can finish working on the trailer. Hurricane Isabel cut the season short on me last year and I didn't get to finish replacing some of the rollers on the trailer

Well, I finally finished the flooring in my house, so now I can get back to work on my boat. With any luck I can have the motor painted by this weekend. I am shooting for Memorial day to have her done. I have alot of work to do, fill all the stress cracks, holes and paint her up, some rewiring, new cable boots and a few extra little things. That's alot of work for this time frame, but that's my goal.

I just found out today that I have two more weeks before the bracket arrives from Armstrong :P. They're painting it (Whisper Gray awlgrip). I should be in before Memorial Day still though.

I am, it's going to be great. But I'm going to start getting frustrated when guys on the docks start bringing in striped bass and I'm not even in the water yet. The motor is in the shed at the shop, ready to go. It's actually a new '03, not an '04 like we thought. I don't really care, it's new and it has a 2-yr warranty!

good things come to those who wait!!
Just think, when its ready its ready!! all new and you can go when ever were ever and not worry!! I have one more good day of work and I will be ready!! I did the sliding hatch yesterday, installed the Bimi top, and fixed the windshield support. All thats left is, load gear, touch up the bottom paint, hook sterring and start motor
