9 weeks to Boat Launch.
If I told you it was 9 weeks to the end of Boating season you'd be angry at how close it was.
For me 9 weeks is nothing.

I have a lot to do and have not started. I bought a bunch of boat crap and project materials but have not done a thing with it. Much of the boat is dissembled right now.
Although I would like to get some spring cod...I do not plan to be in early, I want to leave it out and work on it (again). Call me sadistic but I like working on boats in the spring, I am getting nearly as much pleasure working on my boat as I do using it. Once it hits the water I tend not to do much work on it. I will work on it until I the fishing is so good I can't take it anymore then I will splash it. I prob will not be in till june.

My history is that I buy a boat, work on it while using it for a few years, get it just the way I like it... then sell it and start anew. I do it again and again. There must be a name for this disease.

works awesome with my hds unit... easy to install 20 minutes max.

Either rebuild my engine control or buy a new one.
Install new cables either way.

Its a short list this year. But I'm sure more will be evident when i uncover.

I have a 101 lb thrust MinnKota I-Pilot on backorder. My current one (for sale) works fine, but this one has gps, so it will spot lock and hold you on a spot, track lock and repeat tracks and directional lock; which will free me up a bit to focus more on fishing and less on boat control.

If anyone is interested, new board in my current one last year, take $400; 36V, bow mount, hand controlled, RipTide saltwater series, 62 inch shaft.

i need new battery's, 3rd bigger bilge pump, new scupper flap's, and better health to even use the boat this year

i never even used the thing last year but 2 times

It hurts to say this but I need to Fiance freindly the boat up a little. I need to make a bow cushion, and some cushions for the back compartments, install a stereo. When I got the seacraft i told her I would make it so it was comfortable for her to come out, then I just fished with it and kept it as bare as possible.

A buddy of mine bought me a scrub brush. He told me my boat stinks like S&*^. I told him i like it like that because no one wants to come fishing on a smelly boat. I think i will try it. I bought my boat for one reason to fish in and its maintance free. Stiffy ur always welcome to tag along but stay a safe distace away my boats not fiberglass friendly.
