Finally got a free weekend to get her washed and all waxed up! Was hoping to launch yesterday but it was a bit windy here with some strong gusts. I didn't want to struggle at the launch with the incoming waves. Hoping to get her in Friday or Saturday! Super pumped!

    @lme097...Great work, even up under the vents - that's where you see how serious the boater is. If it's clean up under there the boat has indeed been "detailed"!

    @jme097....respectful suggestion....just remember what that bilge hose is for. Generally, not used too much but when it is REALLY needed you want it to move the water fast and stay together! I'd be real sure my repair allowed fast water removal and was real solid....that hose was on my regular check list.

    Did I miss something?  or was this to go to another topic?  @MT, I know you're gettin' old.... :)

    GEEZ, yeah I AM getting old! I was reading a post about splicing a bilge pump hose and thinking it wasn't so hot an idea. I'll take my pills now!

    I am not sure what length the hose is. I can measure it for you tomorrow if you would like.

    @jme097, you need 7 feet of black bilge pump hose. I would get 8 to play it safe.
