Going to my boat on Wednesday to take off the tarp and frame that holds it up, 1st step in getting her ready for spring
What is your 1st step?
Next
Then I go into the cabin,hull,engine , and pray she starts up .

Feel you,Step. Heard reports of Spanish being caught. Went trolling last weekend and today, but no luck.

Was great to get out. Water temp is still a little cool, 71*, 73,74 is the magic number.

Here's some pics to get you going

View from the Helm

Stopped for lunch and wife wanted to look for driftwood on the beach

Get ready Boys, won't be long

Phat, looking good and rearing to go.

Step after doing every thing to get her wet, that's exactly what I did PRAY she started.

The next time I prayed was when they were transporting her to the drop in, on the freakin' fork lift. That's an old picture when I still had her.

To all HAVE A GREAT SEASON and be SAFE

Lookin' good!

Nothing to do with my boat, she's been in the water all winter. Waiting for the pine pollen to subside so I can clean her up is all.

Giorgio, I was scared looking at your boat on the fork lift and she is not even mine .
I feel your pain at that time
Phatdaddy , when I looked at the first pic you posted ( the shot looking forward from the bow) I got excited and can wait to get to my baby ( wellcraft) but we won't have those water temperatures till August. Your very lucky to have that weather this time of year
Phatdaddy and Giorgio be safe out there. Happy boating and fishing and remember
Safety first .

Nice pics Phat! Can't wait to get back out on the water myself. Working the whole weekend but hope to get my new lower unit on first of the week.
