The weather looks good enough for a launch to me. So far we are on schedule for Friday. The boat will be back from bottom painting today with pre sea trials on the way back. She will be placed on the new trailer this afternoon or tomorrow. Swim platform should installed tomorrow. Then it's time to detail her before getting wet on Friday.

Weather is crappy...NO buoys in the bay....when do they go in?? i don't know the waters that good to go with out markers in the no water S.B.

So i'm just warming her up every few days to keep her juiced........
 
Bill, they should be in real soon I thought they where in, just keep her warm!!!!!! I'll be in Friday afternoon.
 
I got in yesterday. What a painful spring prep period this year, but it's finally done and behind me. Great day for a launch yesterday. New Strataglass goes on this week and then bring on the season. Woooohoooooooooo.
 
Today was a beautiful spring day in GSB.
keep 'em coming.
 
It was a great weekend. Topside wax and cleaning is just about done. Oil, filters, wires, plugs, caps, rotors, slave solenoids and spare belts done and on board. Just waiting for mechanic to time the starboard motor. While removing the distributor cap the small screw snapped. In order to remove it I had to remove the distributor, of course this altered the timing. Always something, good news is I figured out why the new transducer was not recognized by the network- it was not plugged in!
 
She's getting compounded and waxed shortly. Already done the external stuff and on to the internal stuff. We'll be launching sometime near the end of May. This weather is postponing our launch. We planned on May 16th and now its much later. Mother Nature is one hormonal ***** this year!

I just got the call from my salesman that he and the boat have safely made their way from Milwaukee, and it is now in it's summer home in
Racine. Headed to the marina this weekend. Finally!
