New zincs are on, bottom is ready for paint and hull is prepped for wax. I need two days to complete and I'm ready to splash. I'm going in early this year!

It must be nice storing indoors:)
It still a bit early to be cutting off shrink wrap. As much as I would love to get started I will wait it out a bit.

Thanks Flutterby.
Hogan - these folks are missing half the season. Not sure what they a waiting for.
Audrey - guess I better enjoy the indoor storage before the condo's get built :)

You're right. I think they are using the wood for the condo's on the sea wall. Plan on bottom painting this weekend.

Someone had to tell you which end of the brush to use. If I wasn't there you would probably still be painting:)
Actually you kicked a$$ today I'm impressed how quick you knock that out even with the distractions. I can't wait for you to paint mine.

Bought three new CO detectors on line but had to return them because they were the wrong size. When speaking to the sales women I mentioned they were going in my boat and she said they do sell the "marine " version. Apparently I was purchasing the RV version for about $60. I asked how much the marine version was and she said a little over $200 so naturally I asked what the difference was and she very honestly said that there were no differences in the specs. Both handle the same temperatures and humidity ranges. In fact, she said most RV's get more humidity then boats. Just goes to show you as soon as you put the word "marine" on something, they triple the price.

Thanks for reminding me. I should replace mine this year too. I would venture to guess that the marine versions have coated circuit boards.
What detector are you shopping for? Fireboy/Xintex w/out generator relay is usually a little over $100 and w/ the relay around $150.

My boat came with Safe-T Alerts so I wanted a direct replacement. BTW, I saw no indication that Silverton used the marine version but never the less I feel very confident that the RV version will perform just fine. I don't believe I have a generator relay. Someone else mentioned that to me and it sounds like a great idea so I will check it out. Same thing happend when my spot light burned out. All the marine stores on-line wanted around $85 for the bulb. I looked up the GE number that was clearly printed on the bulb and found the exact item on a trucking website for $8.00

I find the camping section at Wal-Mart a great place to save money on "marine" toilet paper, head chemicals, etc. It's amazing how much money can be saved by shopping other sources before heading to the marine store.

Don't ever get involved with airplanes. It's even worse. Every part needs a paper trail. Sometimes the documentation is more expensive than the part.

I recently bought 90 rolls of two-ply marine toilet paper for $.50/roll from Defender. I think I'm set for the summer...
I tried single ply Scotts ONCE. It clogged up my system. Never again!

I am so if anyone is around, stop up and watch me. I expect the boat ready for splashing by Sunday. Actual date will be 3/31. I know Hogan is planning on taking his cover off this weekend so I'll assume the weather wont allow it any earlier.

I missed this post, LOL
Pocketchange Anchor Management in indoors so the early prep is a none issue. I'm a bit jealous but I will wait another week before I cut my top. I may do a little bottom prep to make ready for paint but there is not much else I can do. I can't wait to get into my new slip and see 10+ feet under my boat at low tide:)

Party pooper! I usually uncover mid March giving me about 30 days to complete prep for launch. This should be an easy year no major plans just touch up bottom, buff and polish entire boat and change zincs.
I'm hoping that I can pull not this weekend but maybe the next if I have to wait yet another it wont be the end of the world.

I suspect that date is when they start putting boats in the water but since you are elsewhere, I don't see why they would not allow you in the marina early. They do have a lot of boats in all winter.

We checked today and nothing has changed they prefer if you go in after the 1st but would accommodate if you need to get in sooner. I hope to be in be the 1st and would be in my slip any sooner then that so all is good. If it takes me an extra week so be it. Every year I rush to get in but then I don't use it much until May so it no big deal. I just want to get settled in my new home.
I finished buffing with Buff Magic today and the boat looks great tomorrow I will apply the Rejex and all that's left is bottom paint.
The weather has been great this year knock wood!

We took ours out of the water today for the first time in 18 months,at no cost to haul or relaunch, (it's called southern hospitality). 
We did this in an attempt to keep the earth's waters balanced as you guys launch.
The bottom paint still looks great. A quick power wash, change of zincs, coat of wax and relaunch within a few days.
