End of Season Clean Out

[h_gerry]

Sad day, cleaning out the boat for the end of the season. It always amazes me how much crap ends up in the boat!! I am looking at some of this stuff and don't even remember putting it in here. For other stuff I am asking myself if I even used it at all during the past year. Note to myself for next season....don't put something on the boat unless I am actually using it at the time I bring it onboard.

I must admit that I'm not the guilty party on this issue. GW is. She brings cooking stuff on board because "we might need it". Well, we've had the boat for four years and some of her cooking stuff has yet to be used. This spring (Yeah, I keep telling myself it will be THIS year!) I'm going to take a whole bunch of stuff off the boat, not tell her about it, and suffer her wrath if she ever discovers I've done it.

Oh I am right in there with you GFC lol....no offense intended to my wife but she's the queen of buying things there's little if any chance of using. It could be winter fun to start a thread on "Things my boat has stored on it- that have yet to be opened" hehe....We have a full set of Corel dishes....ah - why, we don't use real dishes lol...Oh well all that stuff is probably costing me a least 1 mph - but conversely if I get rid of it, it will be less than 5 minutes before she looks for it....not worth the grief I'd get.....let's see...Oh the Crock pot ....3 yrs and not outta the box....and.........

I'm with you guys and I've only had this new boat since March. I'm still trying to figure out why we have to have so many darn pillows; pillows on the bed, pillows on the couch...

I keep a few items on the boat that I have yet to use but I know that I wind up using them someday. Items like a small air compressor but other that, if it's not needed, I try to keep it off the boat.

Hmmm...wouldn't that eliminate putting life jackets on the boat? :huh:

Couldn't resist.

The wife and I are both guilty of this. When we bought the boat (our first), I took more tools and repair doodads down there than any fleet could ever use. We're planning on completely emptying the boat as part of winter layup, so that the spring recommissioning will be "sort of" painless.

When we first brought our boat home, my wife took over the cabin. Women are nesting creatures, or so I'm told! The cockpit engine room and the outside of the boat that's all mine but the cabin is hers. So I can relate to all you guys who hate your pillows, we have a crockpot down below but we actually use it. Of course our dock area is a big area for her as well. So much of this stuff that was down below, are now in our cabinets on the dock. We will see, it's going to be a long battle. But I leave the cabin alone!

I'm doing better with our Sundeck. But when I cleaned out the Weekender when we sold it, stuff came off that boat that went on when we first got it, and never used. The cuddy cabin was a collector of crap. I am in almost every storage area on the Sundeck every time I am on the boat, so what comes on short of boat's equipment comes off after every trip.

The extra bag of them in the cabin does take up a lot of space........
