October all ready?
Where did the time go?
Didnt get out as much as I would have liked to this season.....work comes first. Hopefully by next summer I will be collecting ss and working part time.
Boat is holding up just fine.....My youngest goes around 240# said "no way that swim step is going to hold me"..... "try it" i said knowing full well that it would.

True
But I just saw in the rules it is 10 per boat or 5 per angler which each is less. So 4 of you go out for a togfest event and its Only 10 not 20
Crazy rule if I read it right.

I circled today on the calendar when I saw the forecast for temperatures in the 70s today and tomorrow. Will spend the afternoon pressure washing the hull after hauling out for the season. Spent too many cold days in the 40s doing this when I have waited until the very last day or two in the month.

I use a cover too $300 lasts a solid 3-4 years. Much more economical than shrink. Would last longer but small branches seem to get me every few years

Ray its the way to go. I usually get 3 years or so out of a tarp that costs $100.

There is a ShelterLogic being offered on marketplace for reasonable money. Just shy of length I would need to do winter projects inside of... Made me think of Ronnie's.....jealously.

Put up a big shelter & be done with it.
Mine is 36x18x18 & my 34x12.8 Downeast boat stays dry & warm 👍
Shelter is going on 15 years old

Would love that but just don’t have the yard for a semi permanent shelter. So jealous of your setup Ronnie.

Now there is a pic of a boat Ronnie’s that knows how to block a boat
So many times I walk boatyards and see one set of blocks up the bow and one way at the stern usually a yard with a travelall. I don’t care how good the boat is built. It isn’t happy like that. Lots of stress. Thus a boat that size 34. Put a set in the middle.
And the blocks are cribbed. Many places don’t crib. Drives me nuts
My only change. I make blocks from PT 2 x 8’s with a 2 x 6 tee in the middle. Strong and easy to move around. 24” long
