    To say the least, Kurt!

    Here she is this morning, on her way to Tim's for the makeover. She arrived safely this afternoon, and work begins tomorrow...

    I've been following Tim's progress, the decks look great. If it's wednesday it must be time for primer!

    Have you picked a launch date?

    We're tentatively set for June 4th.

    What about you? How's your Spring commissioning coming along?

    I splashed last week but I haven't had time for anything more than an engine start and a battery charge.

    So, who here is fully prepared to be extremely jealous of Mike when he gets his brand new boat back from Tim?



    She's beee-yoo-tee-full! Like the color choices, too. WTG!
