Been a while. Been busy working and not playing unfortunately. However this happened today.
 This was my big plan I was hiding unfortunately it didn't go as planned. Originally I was trading labor (floor work) for a hardtop and e-box from a local shop. But after I looked into it a bit I realized I was getting screwed. Turned out I could get the top from the same manufacturer for over 1/3 of the price this guy was "hooking me up" with. So I've been too busy to go and get one made but turns out a buddy of mine had one that was 6 months old and the owner went with a different top. It's a cored 5x7. It had a tuna tower on it so my buddy's gonna repair those spots for me. They also notched part of it for rod holder and he's not a fan of that so he's gonna fix that also. Best part is he also needs some floor work in his house so looks like this top all fixed up is just gonna cost me $200-$300 in materials for his floor. Sounds like a good deal to me.

 Gonna clean the girl up and take a ride tomorrow. If all goes well we're gonna head to Urbanna and watch the fireworks from her in the PM. I love watching the fireworks from the water, even if they aren't real close.

Took it for a ride this weekend and pretty sure I toasted the motor. But I'll get it straight. Just nice to finally take her for a ride. Definitely a much smoother ride then my Striper.
 She's back at the fiberglass mans place now getting the finishing touches on the top then I'll dig into what I'm going to do about the motor. As of right now leaning toward a powerhead rebuild if the block is salvageable. By the sounds of things (literally the sound) I think I'm going to be looking at getting a sleeve which would maybe alter my approach to getting her back running. Time will tell.

Back in the boathouse. Trying to talk the owner of the marina into putting a lift in this slip so I can just leave my boat in the marina and not have to paint the virgin bottom. It's not going to well though, well other than his suggestion that I pay for the lift. Tempting...
