Bring the boat work with you, we'll get it done there!
I may have you laying down my seadek! I hope to get the more mechanical stuff done and the seadek may need to wait so it may come to Shelbyville in a box instead of on a boat.

So the boat is all washed, trucks are half way washed ( rims and grill ). Still have to get the 2 trucks totally washed and load the boat tonight so I can head out tomorrow after work!

I am in the same "boat" just found out my seadeck will not be here until wednesday.. mine is most likely coming to shelbyville in a box. I will be looking for advice and maybe a little help as well, I have never installed seadeck before. My boat floor is bare with no snap holes so hopefully a good cleaning with acetone , peel & stick!!!

@OperationROL Good to see you on the lake yesterday, thanks for stopping by! Hopefully you made it back before it cut loose! We held out until after the first storm and boogied out before the second one. For this weekend, since we're going with another family, we didn't think it would be fair to them to make Shelbyville this year. Plus, we all wouldn't be able get down there until later Friday and take off Sunday, that leaves a pretty small window of enjoyment.

NEXT YEAR!!

Ok. Just bring some ethanol alcohol to clean the deck before sticking down.

Great seeing you as well. We ended up going to Popeye's to eat. We got to the restaurant right as the skies opened up the first time. We actually saw you guys coming in to Geneva from the restaurant while we were there. Once we finished eating, we high tailed it to Williams Bay to get out. We made it before the 2nd round came, but did get wet as we pulled out. Since you will not be at Shelbyville, we hope to see you soon again in the near future!

I bought a gallon of acetone will that work for cleaning the deck? Or do I need to get a different cleaner?

That's actually what I meant. Acetone is good.

I'm getting super stoked. These two days are going to be the longest work days ever.
Seadeks not that hard to put in. Make sure you bring some painters tape so you can tape down the sections so when you're applying the seadek it doesn't move around. We can knock it out.
