Well we know the coat did not shrink. It's the "to go tour" of expensive lunches you have packed away this year.
Looks like a great time.
Lol, I didn’t realize it until I looked at the pic again. What you don’t see is the boat we parked behind blocking the entrance to the spot to other / wider boats. We could have easily taken one of the non handicapped spots next to us but didn’t want to take up a whole spot with our “little” (11’ to 12’ long and 1k lbs. each) waverunners.you parked in the handicap slot @Ronnie, what’s up with that?
Agreed. I was going to tell my wife the same thing about her “shrinking float coat” but decided against it.Well we know the coat did not shrink. It's the "to go tour" of expensive lunches you have packed away this year.
Never put a price on a great time you only live once.
That storage looks amazing. What's that run you a month, if you don't mind answering?Last outing for us. Lake has already dropped over half a foot in 2 days!

Going back down in a couple of weeks to drop the boat off to be winterized and then give her a good wax before the long sleep but she's done for the year.

I pay $150 a month. It’s much cheaper than towing 3 hours and minimal wear and tear on my truck since storage is 5 mins from the boat launch. Makes prepping for the day on the water a breeze since we do it at the storage unit with no stress and by-pass people prepping at the ramp.
We hung out at that marina, without our boat obviously, for a good while last summer. The summer before Covid thankfully. We walked around and took lots of pics of all the BIG private yachts that were docked there at the time. There's also a sailing club that docks there so there were a bunch of club sail boats in the 20-22 foot range. We ate dinner at one of the many restaurants in the food court area that looks out at the marina and park that surrounds the marina. It was in June so there were lots of people hanging around and enjoying the area.
That's a lot of blood on the carpets...does that come up okay and what do you use???
Yes. Installed correctly, Seadek is surprisingly super easy to clean and very durable; hence, it's also used in some fishing boats; dirt, blood and guts come off easily using even raw water; even better if salt water due to its (low) ionic strength cleaning properties. The trick is to not let the blood dry, and never use hot water as it coagulates blood and makes it very hard to clean off of any surface.
my 212x tops out at 47-48ish. That's fine with me too. I've only hit WOT once, myself.
As @swatski mentioned, it is SeaDek and it cleans up beautifully. Used one of.my portable ballast pumps to create a nice strong raw water hose and it pretty much wiped off with a rag. And my SeaDek is 4 years old (I think).
Beautiful!
