Lucky. I have staff duty today, need to finish a powder coating job for someone tomorrow, and next weekend is shot too. I still need to detail the engine bay and interior though. Getting her ready for April 19??

Yes, lots of little things that need taking care of, trailer light replaced, trailer bunks need carpet, and light bulbs on the boat. Need to play with the green and red solenoid on the trim tab unit, port tab works just fine, starboard does not work at all.

Well fixed the trim tabs, turns out it was the switch, just tightened the screws, and it started working again. I hate electrical problems!!! Just glad this was a simple fix. Although I found this out after switching the solenoids in the power unit. Oh well, it's fixed.
Got one trailer bunk carpeted today, the second is de-stapled (man I hate staples now) and ready for the new carpet. Carpet in the AM.

Outstanding! Formula looks strong. Good to see Canyon Lake again! Looks like you had the lake to yourself.

Yep, not too many boats could handle all that wind. Around the point it was worse!! Formula ate it up!!

Running in the wind is a good time...except around the docks!
