But on the bright side boat looks good.

Plan is for this coming week I hope. Going to wash and wax the bottom first. Also picking up a portable car shelter thingy so then it will be flip time so I can keep the hull in the driveway and have my garage to use for the interior and engine clean/dress up over the winter.

Just gotta find like 10 guys to help flip it without damaging anything ;)

Thanks Everyone for the kind words.. It's been a struggle but we are getting through it together as a family. :)

Well yesterday was a looooooong day. Got the hull washed and waxed. Took about 8 hours to get it all done. All by hand :( I am sore today.

After Wash





Then waxing started.



And got to this in the end:)









Very happy with how it turned out. Nice deep and shiny :) Just waiting for the storage shed to show up then I can flip it back on the trailer and put it under cover for the fall winter. Plan to have it close by to the garage so I can climb in when needed.

Thanks again all for your help and support :)

Looks beautiful. You know it is a blessing and a curse. See how much nasty gets on the boat when you use it. Oh yes you will be like me wash and dry everytime you use it.
