Not really for me. I've got my swim platform off of the boat. It's at the powdercoat guys shop for another week or so.
Other than that, I've got two boxfulls of parts from Summitt in my shop that need to go on the boat. Plugs, caps, rotors, plug wires, fuel separators and impellers. Drive and engine fluids have already been done. A good wash and rub some Leverage on the old girl is the only other thing.
The old timers around where I live have always said St. Pattys Day is the "safe" time to de-winterize, I'm always boating by April 1st. This year won't be any different! WooHoo!!

Donnie has shown on a few detailing threads on how bad some of the vinyl is on some of these boats that he has cleaned through out the season..I was shocked how easily they came clean..The main thing is.. the formula is non-toxic, cleans extremely well with out making you're seats feel greasy, and has a soft non-slippery sheen to it. When you go over it with the conditioner it lasts a long time..and the main thing is you never have to worry about you're stitching deteriorating. Let me know if I can help you..Thanks Jeff

Thanks Jeff, will get with you soon to get some heading my way.
Can't wait for summer, working on planning the horn island trip right now. I think we have a decent size group thats going to run over from Lake Maurepas. Haven't made that run in a few years so I'm eager to do it again.

Well, it is not an offshore boat but I did get out on the water last Friday with a boat full of offshore guys and one gal (sorry, honey!). 70's, sunny, and calm winds. Great day for early March in the armpit of America better known as Illinois!

Knot, Don't know what all you're powering but we have had great luck with the Optima AGM Marine Blue Top Batteries. They recharge quicker and hold their charge longer when not in use. I know people that have gotten 10 years service out of them and they are still going strong.
Our boat will be ready as soon as I change fresh water pump impellers, wax the deck and get some warm weather.

I'm knot ready!!! Need to assemble top end of one Sterling. Need to tear down and have heads done on second Sterling. Exhaust work too. Put in dry pipe fittings at the outlets. Weld off muffler ring outlets, add down pipes into water.
The Saber will make it by June if knot before. But the fountain may get wet in early May.
Hey Todd, we may have to put on some winter jackets and get out there asap! I'm jonesin' for the water. Been working on boats all winter. It was easier when I couldn't see them all winter.
