Re: I can’t believe the time is already here.
There is nothing cheap about horses, or pigs, that’s for sure, but my boat costs a little less to keep going than most of you. Don’t forget the dirtbikes! I’ve got a fun day of riding planned for tomorrow.LaRea said:Cool indeed, and awesome that anybody could afford that hobby plus boats AND race cars!
For me, with no kids and Virginia weather ... I have another 8-9 weeks of boating. The Admiral will insist on hauling out by Thanksgiving. I'll resist briefly, and then I'll conclude that she's right.
Honestly, she’s funding most of the horses herself right now. She works at the ranch every day to pay for it. She’s been pretty self sustaining with her pigs too, with her winnings. She works hard.

I can’t believe the time is already here.
We used our boat a ton this year. At least twice a week since April, but now school has started, Livestock showing and horse showing have started, and it’s time to winterize the boat. The saddest day of the year.
My daughter does make the showing season enjoyable though. We had a real good time this last weekend.

Re: Gelcoat Repair
I have used Spectrum Patch Paste purchased on Iboats for about $40. I have not had much luck with Spectrum customer service. They were the opposite of helpful telling me I would never be able to match the gelcoat because of fading caused by the sun. I purchased white Patch Paste and went to Home Depot to select color match cards that closely match the boat. After comparing the color cards to the boat and selecting a good match, I went back to Home Depot and ask them to run the card thru their color match system to produce the additive they usually mix in their paint. They put their color match pigment into a small container that I then mixed into the white Patch Paste. When I made the repair I was sure to mask the area to be fixed with masking tape within a few millimeters of the scratch. I troweled on the Patch Paste so that it was even with the surrounding area. I then sanded the patch with very fine sand paper 1000 grit after it cured. The result blended right into the undamaged gelcoat. Be sure to sand the area while leaving the masking tape in place so that the undamaged gelcoat is not affected.
