    Wow, looks like @LaRea will finally be able to keep up with us this year! :)  

    Lets see, I've got a couple things off my list this weekend.  Greased the lift and installed a new trim actuator.  I also redid most of the caulking with 4000.  After doing that, I think I'm going to use 4000 and reseal around all of my rub rail (not removing it, just doing around the top of it).  I don't have any signs of leaks, but I get tired of gunk washing out behind the rub rail that I know is just something that could get worse and start leaking.

    I am dropping in Friday if everything gets accomplished over the coming days.  Really all I have left to do is paint the drives, trim tabs, and polish the props. 
    Actually I still need to polish and wax above the rub rail, but that can happen after I'm floating.

    @shawnmjr I agree and thanks for the compliment.  I just wish my shoulders, legs, neck, pretty much my entire SORE body from 3 days of waxing top to bottom would snap back into place sooner than later so I can enjoy her all shined up 😟😓😴

    I'm down to the last few details.  Refreshing the safety gear, beering the fridges, and watching the detailers wax the hull.

    I was going to do the same, but they changed the weather report to be cold and raining instead of sun and 73. Rescheduled for a week from tomorrow (Thursday)

    That's an amazing looking 360. I just dont understand why there is so little sun protection on it.. when did that become "no worries"

    I've wondered the same thing over and over again.

    My first step in dewinterizing has to be getting #$!^@$/ Mother Nature to "dewinterize". Still a foot of ice.... :'(
