Let's hear about your winter boat projects!

[jdupree]

If the sea trial and inspection check out, this looks like my project for the winter

SWEET Ride! Congrats JD!

[GoneFission]

Great find JD!  Bet I know what you may be getting for Christmas... :santa:

That mess will stain a galvanized trailer, too. But must say, it works when nothing else will.

Its great that Paige's folks let you keep the boat in the water there. She is such a nice young lady. Perhaps you should avail yourself of my services...

(I know, tacky....but you know how I like to have fun)

Soon Sir.  Very Soon  



I will be calling you.  Thanks

Boy JD,
Does that look familiar.

Keep us in the loop.

1) I have added a second display overhead so i can watch chart/sonar/radar with out splitting screens.
2) Working on minor electrical problems
3) Time to recoat the teak once it gets above 50!!!
4) Adding a stainless steel bow to break ice  (just kidding)
5) Adding a second VHF with built in fog signals
6) New water pumps, plugs, filters and thermostats
7) Add LED courtesy lights in cockpit
8) Repair rotted backrest on leaning post

That should keep me busy for a while.

Have that baby spit-shined for the next gathering

DOCREED, good stuff. Of all the additions/improvements, really like the second VHF. Forego a splitter, and run a second antenna too. Sounds like overkill, until the original cracks, gets hit, mount collapses in heavy seas, etc.

 Good job.

JD,
She looks BEEEUUUTIFUL!  And I bet she'll consume your whole winter, except for the better half!

Jesse, are you going to have a better half, if what I read from Scott's post is correct?

[MarshMarlowe196]

yup, it's true, just need to get the timing right, and of course, a nice rock (that's where Scott comes in) and it will be a done deed.

X43!!!  BTW, does Paige know?

Splitters actually kill some signal when everything is working properly.

Congratulations!

It halves the power (-3dB).
