All being well we are ready to go in the spring with very little drama I hope.So this is how it goes for those of us in the frozen north..... if the dollar gets better maybe even get to Florida again this winter.

who's ready for winter
Well its Oct. 4th, we are in the parking lot, and just finished compound/polish /wax hull....we are now ready for shrink, will spend the next week getting my back to recover from this....last year at this time we were still boating, had a nice fall cruise around Beausoliel in the middle of Oct.

FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Re: who's ready for winter
Even though it getting close, i'm not ready. I will hang on until about the first week of November before we pull out for the year. It looks like this weekend will be nice and we can get a couple hour cruise in.

Re: who's ready for winter
Seems like we just launched her for the season, oh well, there's always next season to look forward to and all winter to plan next seasons trips! On the up side my liver will appreciate a break! LOL

Re: who's ready for winter
I am going to go on the hard either next week or the week after. I would have stayed in longer but I have the transmission issue that needs to be fixed so coming out soon.

Re: who's ready for winter
I just put the tarp on her yesterday. We changed our method on the tarp this year so I will have to go for couple of visits just to make sure everything is holding OK. Sad to see her on the hard, wrapped up like a haystack
but it was another good year.

Re: who's ready for winter
I still have the long weekend to enjoy on her. I come out on Tuesday
A couple of projects for the winter to check off my bucket list:
- install mufflers - no mufflers from OEM on this model, 454s can get pretty loud
- move hot water heater to aft cabin under bed so I can install another 8D in the engine bay
