I removed the stove from boat 3 weeks ago, waxed the hull last week and bottom paint last week and launched on Saturday April 16, if anyone needs a princess stove I have one available everything works perfect on it.

Hi Blair great pics, I am still there. I am tied at the end of the gas dock in the little inlet, the current was very strong in the channel and the docks are not in yet so Keith and I thought the inlet would be the best spot to tie up, I had Steve come up with his trailer on Saturday April 16, I wanted to launch when the water was high that way I would not need to use the launch ramp at your marina, it was a real nightmare hauling the boat and taking it down the tree lined road from your marina to my marina very, very, tight. I am going up this weekend to do a little maintenance on the boat, wife is working so I will be there myself so drop by if you get a chance, I will be there all weekend spending Saturday night on the boat.

I promised my wife to build a large shed this spring, so the boat is sitting and not being worked on. I did buy a bunch of parts for projects over the winter, so besides bottom paint and everything else that needs to be done below the water line, I have some major projects to complete. I hope to be in the water in May, but we'll see...
So it is now early May and I still don't have the bottom paint done! I have been waiting for two weeks for a day that doesn't have rain in the forecast, and the first one was yesterday, Mother's day. My wife is a trooper and let us celebrate on Saturday and then spent all of Mother's day at the boat painting! She did get an Arby's dinner at 9:30 last night... :D

I was going to go back today and put the 2nd coat on, but rain again. :x

Launched "The Dog House" this past Saturday. No wind and the water was smooth as glass. Everything went very well. I tried turning to starboard using the back and fill technique and was able to turn the boat around in 1 minute and 41 seconds with only about 10 feet of lateral movement (about one boat width).
