 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...

We grew up together down here at Gloucester Point. He moved up to Mathews about 20 years ago. I cant remember the name of his road....he works for Gloucester County, hangs out down at the marina on weekends...he can suck the bottom out of beer can faster than anyone!

Picked up a tandem axle trailer today. Needs some work but I only paid $200 for it. It's pretty solid other than some rust on the fenders and some of the hardware. Also needs some rollers and I'll probably replace the springs as they are pretty rusted. It's made by Calkins and seems to have a unique roller setup that I've never seen before. The guy I got it from bought it brand new and it was bought for his V-20. Unfortunately his boat got hung under a dock at low tide and sank so he has no need for the trailer any more. He said it was the easiest loading trailer he's ever owned so hopefully with just dumping a few bucks in it I'll have a nice trailer and I'll just sell Big Red. I'll post some pics soon.
