OH boy its been quite a while... Put ALMOST 100 hours on it (in less than 3 months) before the weather got really crappy. Still haven't 'winterized' it yet and its almost Jan, but I was hoping to get some COD or Tataug fishing in this winter.
Winter list:
Leaks:
Pull teak rails and figure out what to do with them, replace w/plastic or reattach with new screws/sealant that will fix my leaks
Welding:
Center rigger new mount & reinforcements
Fab up an aluminum hatch for Fish well (under leaning post), I need to make something as the glass one is NOT doing the job, well fills up with rain water.
Fishing etc:
Starboard Tackle center (fits plano boxes) in side of console, my old one broke.
Console needs some triangles glassed in the corners underneath, the top is so big it makes the console 'twist' on a drift in the wind. I may incorporate a 10in sub box into them.
Tuna tubes on stern, need to get a set of em, and bolt & plumb em up!
Bolt my rear cleats on, just been procrastination on that one.
Figure out why my VHF is a POS and only broadcasts 1/2mile with an 8ft antenna.
