All this relaxing boating sure is a lot of work.
Thought I'd post my list of projects on my 3607. If anyone has ideas/experiences that they'd like to share to help them go more smoothly, let me know.
Priority listed is a rough stab and I'm sure many will get done in a different order as needs arise/change.
No Priority just means it is too far down the list to worry about prioritizing yet.
