I don't seem to be anxious this year

In the same boat (no pun intended)

Groundfish doesn't do it for me anymore. Going to take my time and sort the boat out properly instead of rushing everything and putting the boat in the water half assed. The projects you say you'll do, never get done.

You want projects, I got projects !
Kicking into high gear now that the weather is warming up and making glass work a bit easier.

Any reason for putting in the flip up controls over just making a glass pod under the rail other than access? (Not sure how high your gunnels are off the deck)

Don't want a charter playing with them while at the wheel house helm.
The plywood is just the mock up to get things to clear opening & closing. Will make out of same material (Coosa Board) I am doing my new (higher) deck with.
Got a toggle/ jog lever coming that works with my auto pilot that will go the left of the controls.
Also.
We gill net pogies.
I set & pull over the transom.
Can't have obstructions.

I'm in the Flying Bridge restaurant parking lot so I have to be in by April 15th. I just left a message with the marina to schedule my boat to be dropped in. Kinda makes you get ready when you have to be in by a set date.

I have been chasing my canvas guy down for a few weeks to fix a section on my starboard side. I just talked to his daughter to learn that he died of a heart attack recently. I felt like an ass, but had no idea. He was a super nice guy had has done the canvas on my and my dad's boats for years.

All I have left to go in the water is zincs and some wax. After she's in I can do the electronics, fuel filters, and the rest of the spring cleaning.

Gotcha, makes sense!
