So what's the verdict - when can we place our orders :grin:

Joe - Do you have any pics of the bottom prior to splashing? I'd like to see the finished Zyrex look.

Well, I'm happy to report that we finally have some beautiful, summery weather here in Cleveland. I've made the most of it down at the boat, and tackled a lighting project that I've been eager to do ever since installing my blue underwater transom lights: adding some blue LED cockpit lighting...

Really appreciate all of the responses, fella's. Found my problem to be a bad connection (lots of corrison) on the negative lead going to my starboard engine battery. I am very thankful for this to have been such an easy fix. I should have caught this when installing the new batteries, but...

The batteries are brand new this season. Ken - I know the 2 systems are separate. But when on shore-power, the converter should utilize the 110 V shorepower and charge the batteries (which run the 12 V DC system). So ruling out batteries as they are new, I'm guessing that the converter...

When plugged in to shore-power, my breaker shows that I am getting power (the meter reads 110). Outlets and Fridge work without problem. However, when I was down below putting things away, I noticed my cabin lights getting dimmer and dimmer. Went to the helm and tried my nav and cockpit...

I really don't think those will hold up to the harsh, Long Island conditions. As a favor, I'll allow you to send them my way to the much more hospitable Cleveland area for testing. It just so happens that I have a 30' Weekender that will fit them perfectly =) Seriously, I think there's...

Agreed. I'm guessing with boat (full tank + gear) and trailer, we were pushing 13,000 lbs. The trip to the ramp was a flat, 1/2 mile stretch with one traffic light, so the tranny probably only shifted 2-3 times. We never got over 25 mph. Should have been a breeze for the new 5.0 litre.

Thanks for the compliment! I have three total (two double squares on the outside near each tunnel drive, and one double long in the middle (below the zinc, and above the plug).

Thanks, fellas! Rick - the UWL's are one of the coolest mods I have done to the boat thus far. Everyone who sees them seems to love them. I did quite a bit of research before buying (after all, holes beneath the waterline are kind of a big deal, and I wanted to make sure I was happy with...

Ken - I would love to see a step-by-step tutorial! That would be fantastic. Looking forward to this...

Well, after weeks of cold and rain so far this Spring, we finally got a nice weekend here in Cleveland. As they have been few and far between, I made the most of it and took full advantage of the good weather. Buffed the hull on Friday, installed two new batteries, and other miscellaneous...

Dave, Ken: I've always admired that mod, and would love that on my Weekender. Can I inquire about the process and level of difficulty? Does one need to be a "glass expert" to tackle this?

Looks like she is ready for the water!

You could say that again! Here in Cleveland, we've had 40's and 50's with nothing but rain. I think we've had 1 day over 70, a handful of days in the 60's, and very few dry days. I've had enough of the "April Showers"! I haven't even cracked the shrinkwrap on my Weekender yet. I did...

How's it coming Dancer? Can you do the Risky Business slide in your socks down in the cabin yet?

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Definitely interested in the Arch. PM sent...

What a beautiful restoration! Top notch! Congrats to you. My grandfather has a 25.5 Amberjack (boat that I grew up on), and it is in need of some TLC. I'd love to do half of what you've done to it. Just WOW!

Prayers and thoughts, my friend.
