Good Morning All,
I have pages of improvements that I did this year so I will just name a few and add a few pics. After all of the improvements, here is the worst part...my boat is still in my yard!!! Uggg!!! This week was the 1st week that we could get a trailer in the yard because of the rain and mud but i test ran the engines one last time and found that i had a rusted out freeze plug under the engine mount. Not cool! i will have to get the crane out and lift the engine just to get to it. Ok, so some of the thing i have done this year:
Rebuilt the window frames
This was a ton of work, weeks worth, but I am leak free. The wood looks awesome. It should last another 10 years.
Tinted the windows
I went through 4 rolls of different kinds before i found one that works great and i am good at it. It really changes the look.
Rebuilt the hatch cover (Rotted out of course)
Rebuilt the outside storage covers...same, rot
