Is anyone else as behind as I am????

[jcyamaharider]

Lately I cannot seem to find the time to get my boat projects done.......( I wonder why )

Items I am behind on:

Install hydro turf whole boat kit
Install Bluetooth ballast system and ball valves
reroute ballast lines to accommodate an additional bag under port seat
Install perfect pass ( next weekend project )
Install new fused blue sea 6 position block
Change oil and plugs
New bunk boards and carpeting

I need a week off from everything.

I have things to do, but most importantly I need to drop it in the water!!!

I'm right there with you!! This traveling for work needs to stop but unfortunately I am gone the last two weeks of April. Hoping to take a day off during the week next week to finish everything up if there is a day of no rain! Wanting to put boat in the water May 1 for my birthday and leave it at the slip.

I feel your pain. Due to the cold wet winter (realitive to normal South Carolina weather) the expansion of my shop has taken much longer than hoped. The poor boat has been sitting without receiving any attention. I need to replace the fuel sender unit and replace the swim deck mats plus de-winterize the boat. Hoping in a couple of weeks I will be done with the shop expansion and I can get to giving my boat some lovin' and use.

Having a 3 year old going (cooper halp..... daddy) makes every project difficult. He sees me with a screw driver or wrench and I can't shake the kid.
In the big picture good problem to have. Soon I can harness his energy and teach him to wash and wax.

2 girls here so when I ask if they want to help to work on the boat they just sigh. Although I do stuff my oldest in the amp closet from time to time.

I am a little behind although I did find a few hours to get Perfect Pass installed (for the most part) on Easter Sunday (after dinner). I guess what's making me feel better about it is that the weather has been absolutely CRAP. I managed to get a new floor put in my wife's laundry room and half bath plus the entrance from the garage. Big thumbs up from her. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I've been dreading doing it for a few years!

Time.......you can't buy it, you can't save it, you can't slow it....the most valuable thing in the world.

I think I still have a length of stranded negative wire to install to the amps (the wrong stuff is on there presently). Had that pending for about a year. I still have some of that nice anti-noise stuff to put on the engine compartment. That has been pending for almost 2 years now.

We shan't talk about the second and third cigarette lighter plugs or the fuse block I just finally hung next to the batteries last week. I think those are even older.

Could I get 2 weeks off?

I can totally relate to this @jcyamaharider . I threw in the towel and took the boat over to Earmark Marine in Plano. I had gotten the transducer installed in the hull for the new 7" garmin touch screen plotter, ran the cable to the helm, and installed the transom 6.5" JL Audio MX 650's, and ran the wire to the helm, built the enclosure for the subwoofer...and bought a motorhome and my free time ended. So letting Earmark finish my audio and GPS install was easy right? Well, it is money I could have saved had I had the time. But my calendar freed up and as soon as the boat is back, I will have not only great sound, but i will have the plotter up and running too! Then I can use the next offseason to put LED's in the boat and the bus! Too many projects takes you away from family and fun. Don't sweat the small stuff Jim!

I find myself falling behind at a slower pace....which i consider progress. Ya thats the ticket!!!

My next 2 projects are well staged so confidence is building!!!! And my credit card has a $75.69 balance from todays fillup......room 'nuff for a new vhf radio.......is thAt progress or additional behindness?

 

[dustinjean]

well scratch my earlier post it seems my boat might possibly be traded in for a 24' v drive before i even put it in the water this year, fingers crossed

 

[Bousbous55]

It's that time of year, I told my wife that I just had too much to do and that I don't have time to go to work. Anybody else too busy to work?

 

[jcyamaharider]

Too busy at work, both works!
