Watched the boat endure it’s first storm on a mooring, sorted out storage bins for the boat, restocked the tool bag, and got the registration letters in hand.

Any advise on cleaning the hull before applying lettering?

Acetone and wipe. Then dry. Make sure it is dry and apply your letters.

Well, that will be a new experience, not hiding the boxes! Let us know how that goes. And remember, pics or it didn't happen.
Parts just arrived. Here you go. Proof it happened.

Congrats, sir!

Just got my new 6CW impellers installed. It was much easier than I expected. The pictures of a 6CW and 6AP sitting side by side don't do it justice, the 6CWs look massive compared to the stock ones.

It only took 2 hours: which includes a trip to home depot for a 6" vise (my 4" broke while attempting removal), and I picked up a 27mm combination wrench (crescent wrench wanted to round off the impeller nut).

I talked it up big to the wife before ordering, so I really hope it provides the noticeable seat of the pants difference everyone else has experienced. We'll find out tomorrow. 🤞

I sure noticed a big difference. Although, I have a couple other factors at play, such as having had them pitched for elevation and elevation itself. I'm interested to hear your review.
