First Family Boat Ride

It's been about a month straight of working on the new to me boat. I've replaced both engine raw water pumps, removed, repaired, and re-installed the original Lunair AC unit, re-plumbed the raw water AC plumbing, replaced and re-plumbed the fresh water pump, and cleaned the cabin and engine room from top to bottom. Now that the boat is seaworthy again, I was finally able to get away from the dock this weekend to take the family out for their first ride on the boat. We only got to take a 45 min ride down the New River but I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I even got some help from my first mate driving.

Very nice pictures :D
Glad to know your family enjoyed the first trip. I wish you a lot of fantastic rides in your area.
This year my daugter learned how to steer a boat, helping while docking, maneuvering when I
set or lift the manual anchor.

Think your boys will learn that too - very quick :)
