Pretty sure that woulda been me on the water last year. I think I talked to you at GPYC last night as well. Going in to talk to the manager about getting a slip on Friday. Also hoping to try to order one of the air docks like you have so I can get in there this summer. Thanks again for the info.
Just saw the pics you posted of that red 195...that was my old boat. Small world.Can do! lol
1. Found the 165 buzzer behind the gauges. I'm annoyed at how loud it is when I'm low on fuel. I stuffed a latex glove inside and muffled the sound quite a bit. It's the hole you see in the pic.
2. Bought a wakeboard. Should be fun!
3 - 6. Photos of my giant gel coat restoration project. I went through the entire boat this winter and sanded, buffed, etc. Applied two ceramic coatings too. I noticed the biggest issue is towing on gravel roads. TONS or rock chips on the hull. I've repaired a lot of it, but now I'm looking at proper solutions like a deflector, mud flaps, etc. The roads were really bad last year to the cottage because of major road work. Better roads now, but I'm still looking for a proper solution.
Otherwise, getting excited here in Ottawa too. Also, a new 165 owner near me who has yet to pick up his boat in Barrie. As soon as I can, I'll be bringing him out for a ride.
