Is spring ever going to come ? Enough gloom and doom

Rob
 
Agreed...nothing longer than the winter that involves a boat transaction.
 
Jeff, we are all excited for you and Dave ! Nothing like new boats . Share some pics

Anyone have launch dates yet?
I am on a cruise till 3/31.
I am thinking 4/20.
 
Feels long too, flying down for survey on thursday, hopefully I'll be joining the new boat club soon too.
 
I'm hoping to go in shortly after Easter. It all depends on the weather. I need a couple of good days to do my clean up/wax/bottom painting/drive installation. Once that's done I'm ready to go. Thinking of doing the cockpit and cabin with the shrinkwrap on if we get a couple of decent days in early March. That will be that much less to do once it comes off. The water pumps/oil in the drives is already done, just need a decent warm day when I have nothing else going on to wheel them out of storage at my friends shop so I can paint them.

I wish I knew when....hopefully ASAP. we usually cut the shrink wrap off in mid march and try to get in by April, but might be a little delayed this year for a variety of reasons ... This season can't come soon enough though!

Anyone definitive yet?
 
Damn that's so clean Jeff . Where's the boat ?

Launch dates ? When travelers cuts me a Mfing check I can think about getting repaired . Insurance companies suck

The boat is sitting in the spray both at a large ship yard on Cape Cod...not a bad place to ride out the winter.

It will be splashed on/about the 4th of March and brought over to Huntington for dealer prep and my survey. I will then take the boat around to my dock around April 4th. So I guess I will consider that the official start of my season.

What are you on a two month cruise? Sounds nice enjoy!
 
1 week cruise, but it sort of gets in the way of prep.
I may start in March and finish in April, gotta see.

But then I go in and go to Singapore and Thailand for 2 weeks, so my season is already starting slow.
Just as well, I want the bay a chance to churn and clean if you know what I mean!
 
I'm goin' in by third week March regardless. Unfortunately not at Anchorage this year but got a great price/slip around the corner at Brice's in Amityville (a block from house). I'm sure I'll see everyone out there though.....
 
A few things to get done ?? Like what ? The new boats half the size. Sheesh. Put the fing thing in ill use it till mines fixed. I know the rules . I break it I bought it .......
