Almost ready to splash!

#1 Post by BiXLL » Tue May 13, 2014 1:00 pm

I normally do all my own work, this year I just have too many things going right now so I dropped boat off to local boat mechanic that is well known for being the absolute best. Had him go over motor, install new impeller and spark plugs. Adjusted and lubed steering and throttle cables as well as replacing the tempo fuel lines and primer bulb. I got boat back today and took the day off to powerwash the carpet and acid wash the toons. Comon Sat.. we are ready to put her in! (it stays docked) :nana :eviltaunt :drink

Yep me to. Been cleaning the toon up. Seats cleaned and treated with 303 done, everything inside done, toons washed done, motor check done, batteries checked down. Last thing to do is vacuum the carpet and stop and top off the fuel and added stabilizer. Then to the slip where it will stay till December. This weekend will be a great one.

Hopefully I'm right behind you.
This is the latest I've ever started doing anything on the boat, or had it in the water. And wouldn't you know it, this weekend looks to be in the low 70's here. As opposed to the last two weekends, which were pushing 90*.

Well, maybe not....... We have been getting pounded by rain in Pittsburgh. Water is very high, fast, muddy, and debris filled with another 2 inches of rain forecasted today. Just may not be worth it putting in this weekend. :- (
