Me too... Back in the driveway... Got them ready yesterday, sorted storage and safety gear, fired them on muffs, they stay plugged in year round so batteries are ready, serviced the trailer bearings... Ready for the season. Wanted to get out today but just too much to do around the house... tomorrow after work I think. Good luck out there!!

I had unwrapped mine and put in the garage a few weeks ago to get a head start on some projects. Now that the projects are done, I pulled it out and fired it up. Just need to register it, and then find some open water.

i partially unwrapped mine, just cut the back open so i could get in there and start working. this way, i can slide the wrap forward on the wood frame while i'm working and then slide it back when i'm done to cover it back up. working really well.

i've got a few projects to do, but first i wanted to replace the bad sending unit in my main tank. that's done, now i just need to install some access panels in the floor (so i don't have to rip this all apart again if i have another sending unit go bad) and put the floor back together. i also cut about 3" of excess hose off of the vents, hoping that cures the "painfully slow to fill with gas" problem. gas would come spewing out of the vents if i pumped it in there too fast. it would take forever to gas it up trickling it in there.

next will be adding support to the hardtop mounts. the top rocks back and forth when i hit waves at speed. need to secure it and brace it up a little better.

i'll be adding an itroll throttle controller to the kicker, just need to get one first.

silicon the windows to stop some leaks.

and a few other minor things as well.. and give it a good bath inside! the shop shrink wrapped it last fall without asking when i brought it in to get winterized. i wanted to fix a few things and clean/dry everything out before having it wrapped, but it didn't work out that way.

Mines unwrapped, big project been going on...



You guys get your stickers yet? I have no idea what the process is at the Boat Desk on Hazen Drive... I sent both boat registrations in at the same time, at least a month ago. Last week the sticker comes for the boat getting the new decks, which will be out of commission for at least another two weeks. Check still not deposited for my smaller boat. Very much confused. I waited at least a month last year too.

I've never had a problem going to town hall. Walk in, cut a check and walk out with the stickers and registration.

Definitely check the vent. Also make  sure no critters have made a nest in the vent screen, they seem to be a favorite mud wasp nesting spot. .some boat tanks have poorly designed filler nevks, hopefully yours isn't one of them.good luck.

Sweet! That inspired me to share a pic of me in my chariot just now
