7 years ago Stocks and Blonds received the royal treatment. Here is a short list of work completed.

Transom enclosed with new bracket and 2001 twin Suzi 4 strokes.
Awlgrip sprayed sky blue exterior.
New 95 gallon epoxy coated fuel tank.
Accon flush mount 10" pop up cleat and chocks on bow. 4" Accon pop up spring cleats.
Recore fuel tank deck hatch.
Cockpit bolsters all the way around.
3010 Color Garmin GPS/ black box fish finder.
Stainless rub rail.
Port and stbd bow rod holders, 3 across transom.
Sky blue bimini and black center console cover.
Deck and cap sprayed Awlgrip.


Today I sign a lease on a Warehouse to complete the work in the next several months. The space is 1100-1200 sq ft and I will partially offset the cost by subletting some of the space to friends with more projects than ambition. Less then 10 minutes drive from my house.


Here is a partial punch list of items to be completed this go around.

R/R bilge pumps and hoses.
Change out Raycor's.
Remove bolsters and respray vinyl.
Recore hatch forward of console.
Bottom paint, new white Antifowl.
Remove outdated Sitex GPS, replace with waterproof Stereo/MP3 player.
Interior Awlgrip/Sterling under the gunnels all the way around. Roll and Tip.
Strip and stain all wood. Reinstall under gunnel rod holders which was not done last time.
Rewire the boat. I'm not looking forward to this since I suck at anything electrical.
R/R scupper drain tubes.
Add aluminum backing plates to all rod holders.
Repair bow fiberglass where it wore away the gel coat from pulling up on the beach 1000 times.
Full maintenance on the Suzuki's. Oil, filter, water pumps, grease, zinks, thermostat and possibly valve adjustment.

Lowes and Home Depot both have 12 month no interest on purchases so I may use this opportunity to upgrade my Black and Decker 14.4 volt drill/sander to something with more power. I also need a good sander with a vacuum. Any power tool suggestions appreciated.
