So as most know my covered slip and dock is gone, so all boats must move in mid January. It stinks but we can’t get it changed. So I’m moving to Grays Creek in the next two or three weeks. Now there are questions about our lift, me not trusting the county, I’ve started my Spring work now. I’m hoping I’ve done right. Bottom is done with the new Vivid bottom paint, I waxed from the paint line up to the rub rail. New zinc, but the best things I got replaced were from one of our members here. All new portholes and new swim inserts. These were kinda a facelift for the old girl.

I don’t like the move. My slip neighbors were family to me. Five have now put their boats for sale

Your weather must be a lot more moderate than West Michigan's. There is no way we would be able to do that type of work outdoors here. Boat looks good.

Looks good!
 
Thanks, I just caught a few days to get the paint and the inserts done. The portholes were done while she was still in the water. Waxed the sides mid days when it was near 50.

Snow later this week, so I’m getting her ready for the move
 
So sad to lose something like that. I hope Gray's Creek is an equally nice home for you. Maybe better, even...
