Getting her on the trailer and sea trials


This was a task and quite nerve racking. Considering the countless hours I put into her, I was lucky nothing happened! I swear the three of us men looked and sounded like a bunch of goons trying to get her on the trailer smoothly. It was a blast though!


One last trip to lowes! Thats trip # 36

Painted my little work horse


You can see the primed area (grey) I primed this because it had almost no paint over the bare metal.
Painted the prop just for fun.


The Evinrude 4 - What a champion. Thanks to Huntley Marine for the tune up and carb rebuild.

Waxing was hard work. Also attached numbering.


3m marine wax is a phenomenal product. It smells tropical too.

Keel Mounting





This was a delicate procedure since the keel weighs in around 430 lbs.
Watch out toes!
