Mark, the Bertie goes back in the water next tuesday...threw away the old tower, the aluminum guys get it for the rest of the week. I am doing the final paint work in the shed at Lauderdale MArine Center, and while I am out, I have whacked all the thru-hulls, removed some big a#$ fairing blocks, sent the props for CAD tune-ups, installed dripless seals, faired the running gear and bottom, installing bigger tabs, new pulpit, and are painting from the keel to the top of the bridge. Plumbed in some drains for the glasstech cockpit floor and transome bait tank. I went with Navnet, so am installing the 'ducers now too...I have electronic controls, so the cockpit gets a set along with a navnet repeater so you can drive around from the cockpit chasing bait (I mean flag yellowtails)..... see you guys soon.
