So the local sign says 11wks to golf, I am taking that to mean 11wks to the start of boating up here in the frozen north...and counting down. .... ........

The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

Re: 11 weeks to boating
Most likely it will be mid to late April but it will happen.

Re: 11 weeks to boating
I am hoping for some good weather in early April. This year I have to compound and wax the hull before launch. My rotator cuffs are aching with just the thought of it........

Re: 11 weeks to boating
You and me both Fraser - I had my complete top decks done last August, so I think I'm good for this year. I am probably going to get them to do my hull....
I attempted to do it 3 years agon and 20 min into it looked at what I had completed and what was left to do and said "nope, I'm done."

The admiral would probably agree with your sentiment Lyndon. Believe me if I was tackling a boat of your size I wouldn't be even thinking of it. My "plan" is to break the project down into 4 segments and stick to it. I have to not give in to that urge to keep pushing it. Maybe now that I have entered the 60s I will find some new found common sense......

Shure,Shure,Shure..................no......

If I could find someone competent and qualified to do this wax/compound thing I would hire them in a minute.......but near as I can tell I would have to use the people that have made my winter experience miserable so far......you know the rules....
