After buying the deluxe upgrade back in november to add to my existing super Magnum ak19 fins , I finally got to install it yesterday now that I have the boat back from storage! Relocating the starboard anode was tight, but it did fit with a couple mm to spare. Looking forward to taking them for a spin this week! Wondering if there would be a difference mounting the inside fins using the upper or lower hole.. For now I went with the lower which tilts the inside fins a little higher.. But if anyone has already tried both it would be interesting to hear what you think.. Thanks Jeff @Cobra Jet Steering LLC for the great system!

Getting ready for the launch later this week. Putting a shine and some wax on the 30 yo hull.
Working my way down the port side of the 35' hull.
I used this derelict boat as staging for my tools. Been sitting here for years. Hailing port is in New Hampshire. I am sure this is the closest it has come to wax in quite some time.
I had the ladder working on the hull, so Willow was stuck on the boat. Nice place for a nap.
The last month I have added this stuff,
Lateral thrusters
Wake wedge
Rear ballast bag by gantin
Premium boat cover
Hydrophase ridesteady
JL audio 10in IB sub... I am done spending money
If you're looking for a good soap with good lubricity that foams well in a foam cannon you should check out meguiars hyperwash. Since I wash a lot (clients cars, my boat everytime it touches water, our vehicles) I buy it by the gallon and it lasts me a long time. Pretty sure you can get it on amazon.
Not exactly to the boat, but definitely for: got the dock into the water. Mooring ball will be later this week. We launch next weekend and the season begins!
I forgot if you said what that ran you and what the turnaround time was. I know at this time, they're probably slammed with people who just took a look at their boats with the turn in the weather, and the "crap, we gotta do something this year about the cover".

I spent a good part of a last Sunday preparing and I’m starting to install a new battery tray, to accommodate two house batteries, one start battery and at least one on board charger. A pic of the old tray is also attached for reference.
