We are getting closer!

Just about 59 days to launch! Just think, less than 2 months. I bought my touch up bottom paint today, Interlux Bottomkote NT. Pricing up again. They do have their rebate program going from 2-1 to May 1. Fewer products qualify, but I split a gallon with another boater.

For those of you that follow Rick's trials and tribulations, he picks up his new boat in just 39 days. He deserves a better season compared to last year. 6 or 7 trips to the dealer 95 miles away for repairs to a new motor had to really suck! GOOD LUCK RICK! 8-) er

I love working on my boat however buffing, polishing and waxing is something I gave up on a long time ago. Actually when I got this humungous floating Carver condo is when I retired from it. :-D Keeping her top shape during the season, no problem. Now I am faced with trying to find someone every spring when everyone wants it done. Not easy to find people even if you throw money at them nowadays.

If you need a hand, I'll always be free for you.

Hans, that is why I always look for someone in October, right when Cooler goes in storage. There are usually some young bucs with strong shoulders looking for Xmas money. 58 days and ticking. 8-) er

Thanks. This coming season has to be a better one. Taking delivery of the new boat April 15th. Will get it out for a shakedown cruise as soon as the weather permits.

oh dear, it's getting closer and I haven't found a boat yet! :cry:

Wish I could teleport one from over there to here. Or myself to there, that may be a better idea :captain:
