Joe - glad you're looking at getting on the water. Being boatless is bad enough but not getting out really sucks. Last year when I was trying to get mine started after my skillful electronic ignition installation, my fishing buddy got me out in his boat several times and it really felt good.
This weekend I'm trying to finish up getting the old V ready for the water. Today I went over to a friends place, whose back problems have him in a wheel chair, installed a grab bar and spent some time with him. It's pretty hard on him - his nick name is Bear - he's a guy who used to pick up refrigerators in a bear hug and carry them out when he helped people move. I'm thinking of friends who didn't come back alive from Viet Nam, remembering my dad who did come back from WW II and generally appreciating what I've got - it's definitely not perfect but I'm not complaining. Happy Memorial Day to all you guys.

On the local lake close to my house in Allen, Lake Lavon, we've gone from 13' below normal pool level in December and not being able to launch to now 8+ feet above normal pool level and now cannot launch either. In the first case the ramps were out of the water and now they are all under water. We're having serious flooding on all the lakes and rivers in this area.

We were going to spend the weekend at Cuttyhunk Island on the Bertram but between the wind and cold temps it just doesn't seem to be worth leaving the dock. Usually we head out with friends for a New England style clam boil.
 Today doesn't look to bad. We might take the Wellcraft out for a ride.

The last couple of times I went out in the boat on Memorial Day weekend it was right scary. So I just worked around the house so I have free time later.
Happy Memorial Day!
