HA JOHN R
I HAVE BEEN TAKING SOME PICTURES BOTH WHEN I WAS DOWN IN THE KEYS AND SOME LATELY I STILL HAVE SOME FILM TO SHOOT FIRST BEFORE I TAKE IT TO GET DEVELOPED. I WILL BE WORKING ON THE BOAT THIS WEEKEND SO MAYBE NEXT WEEK I WILL BE ABLE TO POST A LOT MORE PICTURES. JUST BEFORE MY KEYS TRIP I HAD TO DO SOME OF THE WORK FAST INSTEAD OF GOOD SO NOW I GOT TO GO BACK AND RE DO SOME ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN THE CENTER CONSOL AND IN THE BILGE. I ALSO AM HAVING A COMPLETE COVER MADE FOR THE BOAT OUT OF SUNBRELLA TO PROTECT IT FROM THE SUN AND RAIN. I AM ALSO WORKING ON A BUILT IN TACKLE BOX UNDER THE CENTER CONSOL AND A NEW GRAB RAIL AROUND THE BOAT. I THINK I WILL ALSO GIVE THE BOAT A THIRD COAT OF PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE AND ALSO NEED TO SAND AND BUFF THE GEL COAT ON THE BOTTOM. ALL THIS STUFF I PUT UNDER THE HEADING OF ON GOING WORK. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 50 HRS ON THE YAMAHA 225. IN MY OPINION THAT’S THE WAY TO GO ON A 23’ MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER PLUS I LIKE HAVING JUST ONE ENGINE TO DEAL WITH. I FIGURE SEA TOW IS MY KICKER IF I EVER GET IN TROUBLE.
OH BY THE WAY A REALLY DID NEED THAT BUD AND IT WAS REEL GOOD.
