That's the chartplotter I have
It's a good one. Transducer works even on plane. I got Bluechart base maps and bought Lakevu and FL/Bahamas cards separately. Looks like it's going to work really well for nav to Bimini!

Spent the day adding things. New boat name vinyl, naked feet vinyl, and Veve guide on's with Mad Dog pads. I had a heck of a time installing the Veve's solo. Getting the spacing right was a real PITA and I have a feeling I will be adjusting again after I take the boat out tomorrow and see them in action for real.

Used our new grill set up and the food was awesome and very surprised how quick it had our lunch ready; able to fit a pack of dogs, brats, and two stuffed chicken breasts...

Built some new flag poles for my new rod holders. Turned out pretty cool I think. Off to the lake now!

I installed most of my new seadek yesterday and this morning, it looks great and my crew and guest like it. The no shoes on it rule lasted for the first boarding only. I’m not a fan of rules like that, instead i just remind family and friends/guest to use their common sense. Pics to follow, just got busy and didn’t have time to take pics. Here is the only one I could find with some seadek in it. The color match with the carpet and seats is good imho.

Plan was to use a pipe wrench.

Decided to add a brace to hold it while I used the ratchet to tighten it down.


Always good times when you use a welder, 2’ pipe wrench and 3/4” drive sockets to work on your boat.:rolleyes:

I just kept it company tonight waxing the tow vehicle. The buffer works great on the boat; but carnauba and elbow grease did the trick on the truck! Very tired now.

Finally got around to finishing my underseat rope and dock line storage. I decided to go a different route for my dock lines.

5.11 Tactical large molle insert
With 2 sets of 3x3 AR mag pouches

In the pic I've got some 20ft dock lines in a few of them and some padded bungee style lines in others. I think theyfit pretty well.
