Spent about 2 hours on clean up on Sunday and out we went. Haven't changed plugs or oil yet as I'm doing that on Thursday with a good polish too. Getting some new tower and cabin speakers but that's about it.

Bumped the key and the boat started right up and ran like a champ. My imagination, but it might have been quieter. Maybe because I let other people drive and I put in the bow cushion filler and lounged up there. I never knew it was so peaceful up there.

When we got the boat our kids were 11, 9, and 5 and now I have 2 young adults at college and a driving teen, so boating is definitely a different experience now....in a good way! Lot of memories on the boat though.

Still love the boat and have ZERO thoughts about selling or getting a new model.
 
I am entering my 8th season. Taking her out of storage next week. I do fogging, plugs, oil, grease the bearings and wax each season. Its so nice to have minimal maintenance with these boats! Not sure how many hours I am at but any idea how many on yours?
