I brought the outdrive down to the marina and uncovered her today.
I had the seats recovered and now just needs compound and wax.
The outdrive seems to be getting heavier every year.
I also had the two props re conditioned. I sent them to Kansas where I saved about half the cost. Who would have thought, a propeller place in Kansas

I made my hauler stop at the Shell gas station on the was to the boat ramp...it's going to be ugly out on the water this year...

Get a fuel caddy and bring fuel from the street.

 

[EvMiz]

Get a fuel caddy and bring fuel from the street.

Alot of marinas such as mine dont let us do that they have kicked people out for bringing in fuel. Don't know why but it sucks.

 

[KathyC]

Less profit for the marinas...

I will probably be bringing a few gallons over at a time this season..no marina to deal with.. are you hauling your gas Rich?
I can't the cost imagine with the ocean runs that you do...yikes!

I only topped off the other day and it was $68....

 

[jackson6745]

Evan, that sucks. I would leave that marina if they told me I couldn't carry fuel.

Kathy I carry fuel from the street whenever I get a chance. If I'm in a jam I will use the gas dock. Fuel prices suck. Now, besides catching fish which is the easy part, I plan my trips in to run shorter distances and run with the tide when when possible.

Quick boat story...

You know I launched on Sunday morning...rough ride over from the ramp to my dock and I spent a few hours on the boat cleaning up that day.
...well..it seems that a local stray cat was keeping it's kitten on my boat while it was in the driveway of my home (where it winters...). I had checked the boat several times to make sure the mother cat wasn't on it before I left and never saw or heard any kittens when I was prepping the boat...keep in mind those things make a HUGE amount of noise when you run them out of the water...no sign of any cats...
Tonight I went to the boat and when I was about to climb on I saw a little tiny kitten standing in the side well meowing it's heart out.
The poor thing had been alone on the boat since Sunday afternoon..today is Thursday.
Lucky kitty..here's a crappy pic of her...

She's on the thin side but alive & back with her Mom
Just checked the 2 of them a little while ago and they are doing well...baby has a nice big full belly and they are snoozing together...awwww..
I love happy endings!
btw..she is going to need a home in another 5 or 6 weeks...hint..hint...
