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!!!!

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!!

Love this one.

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

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
