There's nothing like taking the cover off for the first time in the spring!
 
Spent all afternoon on her yesterday......was also the first time putting all 4 tower speakers on since getting the last two color matched. 20150412_161023.jpg
 
I'm headed out to the river this weekend to get a few things done on the boat that have been pushed off for too long. And maybe even change the oil

The one thing I have to do this year that is going to be a pain in the butt is put new tires on the trailer. There aren't too many places out there. I guess I could try putting the trailer on jack stands and bring the wheels home?
 
@Glassman I've left my old boat trailer on blocks before while bringing the wheels back to get new tires. Next time I go out to where the boat was slapped the wheels back on, never had to drag the boat anywhere.

I've done the starter fluid trick numerous times on the UTV tires....then we put a Sobe' bomb in the fire ...and then we....uh, better not go any further with this, the interweb police are watching :D
 
Great day for the first season run! Wide open, ~50MPH along with some 30MPH crusing time mixed in. The boat did perfectly after the long, winter storage and it may spin even a little sharper.... 69 degrees and zero ice on the lake. @Glassman , you gave me the idea when you said I should get the boat wet. Done

Mine has been wet a few times. But I am embarrassed to say I can post no pics of my baby. She is dirty as sin... :(

I need to get up and give her a bath instead of putting new stuff on/in her! If anyone knows how to give me about 4 ... er, 8 hours more a week, please do speak up!
