Description
Been very busy on weekends getting ready to go in the water...spring launch can't come soon enough...only 16 more days!

Sanded and primed the transom assembly, replaced the forward bilge pump with a much larger pump, replaced the plastic through hull fittings with stainless and intalled bronze ball valves and installed the forward bilge compartment high water alarm (still have to cutout the hole in the dash and mount the panel for it but mostly done).

Joe, very nice job. Now let's hope for that global warming to kick in.

Thanks, yeah it would make painting much easier that is for sure. Shoveing to the boat, around the boat, under the boat to work on it is getting old. Just as I was cleaning the brush and putting everything back in the truck today it started flurrying. I think after the storm this week we should be in for much better weather.

Finally the end of the project seems a little closer...the drive now has three coats of primer and I mixed the Trilux and came pretty close to Volvo gray I think. Started applying the anti-fouling this morning. Only thirteen more days till launch!
