Looks to be folded under slightly, with the shadow sort of making it an illusion.

That was sold. About 700# dressed. No way to give away that much tuna. Usually small fish can go through a transom door, but that was hoisted with a winch up and over the side. There are 5 fingers there

Dream_Inn · March 8

Well, I got my first ride of the year in today. She ran great!

Then I went home and got the rest of the tub installed.

Now heading into Annapolis to celebrate St Patty’s Day. Busy day!

Congrat's on the first ride. 35* here today with 40mph wind gusts. Certainly not boating season......... Just say'n

PickleRick · March 8

The smile on the boat looks natural. The smile in the tub is similar to one I would make while holding a crying baby

LaRea · March 9

March 8th -- way to go! I was always still scraping and painting outdrives in early March. Keeping your boat on a lift must be awesome!

28, calm now but windy later. I’d be lucky to get into the storage shed on March 8th…

I went down to the marina today. We’re finally dredged! Past couple of years it’s been getting pretty bad in areas.

raybo3 · March 9

@aero3113 we are in the process of getting our permits to dredge and I am overseeing the permit process. To get our permits the cost is $65.6K and that does not include the dredge, plus it takes 2 years to get the permits. Crazy money........

This is a natural "land bridge" at Lake Powell. It is underwater currently, but was exposed a few years ago for the first time in over 40 years....

What’s in my near future ⚓️

Rich_ · March 12

It’s that time of year. How do you like Aqua-One?

aero3113 · March 12

It’s a good bottom paint, keeps most of the growth off till the end of the season. I can do two seasons with it then will need a re-coat.

YYZRC · March 12

Better start shaking those cans now @aero3113

aero3113 · March 12

@YYZRC I hate having to deal with that with the bottom paint cans.
Any tips?
Do you think Home Depot or a local hardware store would use their shaker for me?

YYZRC · March 12

I stirred the can real good and then sealed it back up and shook it until I was exhausted.

Shaking the can was more tiring than applying the bottom paint.

Rich_ · March 12

I’ve had good results with Pettit Hydrocoat but before that have always used Interlux CSC. Local hardware store shakes any can I bring them but I also can use the shaker at the boatyard.

Go to your local owned ACE or whomever, they typically do it free but I’ve dropped a fiver to them in the past.

Now just have to decide which boat to do first

aero3113 · March 14

Supposed to be Mid 50’s next week for us. I’m hoping to do it then.

80 in Chicago this afternoon

rasbury · March 19

We are in north western GA and it's been low 30's all week- to cold for this florida boy...

LaRea · March 20

Eye candy for a Thursday morning. Detailers in southern Florida make Virginia detailers look like rookies by comparison. And you have to appreciate guys who can do this work 40-50 hours a week ... just watching them makes my shoulders sore.

aero3113 · March 20

Awesome!

raybo3 · March 20

Wow that is awesome

johnny44 · March 20

Typically you worry when someone new shows up to detail your boat. But when you see them put that setup together, you can go have a beer and relax knowing that they have absolutely done this before. That is fantastic!

For every thru-hull, the strainer comes off to get stripped, primed and painted. It's like nothing I've ever experienced. Chris Bryan Boat Restoration

B-Juled ... spotted yesterday in Fort Pierce Inlet. Is the owner here?

Sitting on the bow cushion enjoying a 70 degree Washington day.

LaRea · April 19

18th green at the Heritage PGA tournament here in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Taken from our dinghy, and yes that's as close as they let you get on a boat without paying. I had to think, briefly ... what would I rather do with a giant wad of cash? Buy tickets to a sport I don't really follow, or buy another tank of diesel?

Howdy, Stranger!
