Re: I miss my boat....

yea but we are in the home stretch now though....or "in the short rows" as our southern friends might say......was out in the driveway today working on the boat getting ready....reglassing a soft fuel tank hatch and getting ready for new fenders on the trailer.....thinking of de-carbing the outboard tomorrow...man the neighbors are gonna have a heart attack!

Re: I miss my boat....

I am a little south of you and plan to get mine out for the first time in 2 weeks, probably could have gone fishing last night (45/30) but played poker instead.

Only had a couple updates to do and I finished them a long time ago so all I can do is look at mine.

I am really really ready to spend some time bobbing.

Re: I miss my boat....

I'm hurting, too, but what I really need is a long string of 60-degree weather so I can get it ready!

I went to the local (Nassau Coliseum) boat show yesterday. It was also smaller this year then last, and kinda lame.

Re: I miss my boat....

Still 2 feet of ice on the lakes up here...


Although I plugged in the charger yesterday for the two batteries.


I'm suffering pretty bad too, even just to be able to go outside without 100 pounds of winter wear would be nice.

Re: I miss my boat....

I'm truly happy for the southern folks!

I can fantasize, and live through your ability to boat all year! I may go to where my boat is stored today, plug in the charger, sit in the helm and make engine noises, as if I'm on the lake!

Re: I miss my boat....

Finally after the crazy cold weather Fl has had we made it out for a Sunday cruise. AWESOME!!!!!

The Suwannee river is very high right now and so we were able to go to places we never get to go. I forgot the camera but will try to post some blackberry pics for you guys.

You Northern guys just hold on a little bit longer. Or better yet trailer down to us and go boating.

Re: I miss my boat....

The lower niagara river has a ramp that is open all year. They get some huge rainbows in there. My rig is getting a new travel cover made and they're taking their sweat time about it. I don't want to rush them though, at least for another couple of weeks.

Re: I miss my boat....

I feel everyones pain and more. I bought my boat in mid November, went for a test drive and bought it. Brought it to a friends farm and tarped it the next day as it started to snow. Still about a foot and a half of ice on the lakes in northern Ontario but we have had 2 days of 8 degrees celcius to tease me a bit more. Only 3 and a half more weeks until the unwinterizing process starts... And the neverending projects of new accessories.

Re: I miss my boat....

I missed my boat until we had this warm weather here in Philly. I started working on it and found wet wood! LOL! Nothing like bad news as a motivator to take a break and reorganize.

We're getting warmer weather that's quickly getting rid of the snow here in Ontario. I also went to the boat show here in Ottawa 1 1/2 weeks ago to get my boating fix.

New boat arrives the first week of May
