Bayliner - CHECK

Sea-Doo - CHECK

Everything is ready for the water. All I need now is 6 days.

Some things to note after the winter -

1.) The Xantrex system is still so damn cool that I cannot stand it.

2.) The 2 Type 31's are still in 100% perfect condition after hibernation. The starting battery is cool too, but I have yet to need it.

3.) Stereo, speakers, Amp all work, and they work well.

4.) Boat started today on the trailer with muffs withing 3 seconds of cranking. Did I mention that the Xantrex system is cool?

5.) My pinstriping has been off for a year, and was not nearly as bad as Sarah's to remove.

6.) I am EXCITED to get back in the water after going out last Saturday on my buddies boat.

7.) The new Mattress is in, and from what I can tell, (from the Admiral) it is all good!

8.) There are boats in the water already, and I will be 3rd in the Marina

9.) My "Free" Yacht Club membership got renewed. Evidently I do good work with the site, and their forums!

And.....

The number 10 reason I am looking forward to April 15th......

E I G H T Payments on a jet ski that I have not got to ride yet! 215 Supercharged & intercooled horsepower to play with!

Stay safe out there folks! Check all of your PFD's, flares. and other safety gear to make sure everything is ready to go.

Are you serious?

Launching in Minnesota, a full month ahead of us here in upstate NY?

really........you have docks & slips and all of that stuff all ready to go?

My marina has to remove all docks for the winter and they won't even start reassembling until May

hhm.....

Yup, my marina leaves docks and the casino's ship in the water all year. Docks are good to go, waters on, power on. My boats currently on blocks with the rest of them in the RV parking lot, water and power is on there they even put all the picnic tables out. I havnt summerized yet though, last 3 days lows of 28ish, looks to be the end of freezing temps for us. Tomorrow I summarize the beast. Pretty much all thats left for me is summerize, buff, and screw in my new inverter when I get it all wires ran already.

I thought my buffing was only going to be a 2 day project and I think I have 3 weekends into it thus far. Hopefully it will hit the water soon.

I spent 16 hours on my 2355. My 3055 has not gotten this attention, maybe next year. For now I am just cleaning it up.

Yes, it sure is rough waiting.

The climate here is really starting to get me down

It's a tuff one, it's sooooo beautiful here but the summers are over in a heartbeat

Ya Sarah - our Marina in MN has a large handful of boats already in. Several of us still working on them and getting them ready, but we are green lights and they will splash anytime we ask them. They are not even officially open yet - gotta love it.

Cool !! Almost neighbs! Do they ever go to the Woodman competition there? I've been twice, fun stuff!

I'm just outside Lake Placid, pretty close to L Champlain

Tupper is a fairly common place for me to drive to, or thru,,,about 1hr 20m away, I was just there just 3 wks ago

Jeeesh, and I never thought I'd be jealous of anyone who lives in Minnysota,,,being Vikings country and all

You guys! It's the river thing ain't it. No freeze up and that's why the docks stay in,,,,right?

Not fair!

You guys boat into Stillwater, right? I've been there twice, real purty from what I recall as a young'un

ugh,,,it's still too cold to work on my boat never mind splashing it

heck, sometimes the lakes I kayak on are still frozen for maybe another week into April.

Winter is far too looooong here....

Aaah, which Finger Lake? Aaah, doesn't matter,,,,I hear they're all beautiful

I've never been out that way, would love to see 'em before I move South
