Some before-and-after eye candy of the swim platform hydraulic pump system.  Last week I scraped off all the rust and applied gloss white POR.  Looks good from a distance.  Don't look too close or you'll see the brush marks.  I also cleaned the hydraulic check valves, and now the platform will hold position for 1-2 hours without the locks -- bonus!!  





I did not WANT to learn about hydraulic systems, but now I know the basics.  My friend asked why I didn't just retrofit a new lift instead of going to all this trouble.  I told him it would cost $40k and he said "ohhhh, now I get it!"

@Dream_Inn -- that is awesome!  Give our love to the bride and groom!  I hope you got to use some of the decorations from our yard sale.  

My first boat was a 2000 Four Winns 268 that I bought in 2018. Sold it in 2019 and it went off to another marina on Georgian Bay. I spotted it today at my marina! Lots of great memories came flooding back. 

My girls were off from school today so I took them across the bay to Fire Island. Was Awesome, pretty much the only ones on the beach. And to top it off, before we headed over we got to see the infamous @diggin2day1 dropping his boat in 😂⚓️.
