One day I happened to mouth-off to my wife that Aaron said that if he were to do a refit, he would replace the cable lifelines with hard railing all the way around. She said "That sounds like a great idea!" After that there was pretty much no turning back......
Everything has been purchased, the existing stanchions have had their bulbous tops cut off, and I merely await somewhat warmer weather.

Re: Up Grades
thanks john. it's been a while i know. lots of issues to deal with involving the 'ex', but, i have a very supportive person in my life that brings order to my chaos. i'd rather not go into it via public forum, but, if you want, feel free to email me. and paul has much of the 411 that he can share via PM.

Re: Up Grades
Does it still count if all the upgrades were started in previous years but just not finished until 2015???

Congrats Aaron!
I am now learning the F36 tri cabin way of doing things, I think both engines and genny will be cranked in a couple of weeks.

Re: Up Grades
thanks larry. i thought that sharing with you guys, in pics, shows some of the things that have transpired over the last several months. as for 'the tri cabin way', i'm always around. maybe in the background, but, around. you know how to find me. i love when fellow boaters, and non boaters, wonder how so much could be placed in 36'. enjoy the learning curve.larryeddington wrote:Congrats Aaron!

Re: Up Grades
I just hope no one digs up the list from a year or two ago about the upgrades folks were planning to do "over the winter" -- Ha! At least I bought a lot of the parts. One I might have actually done -- oh wait. It is not finished....Does it still count if all the upgrades were started in previous years but just not finished until 2015???
Todd -- got your message. Sorry on my part for the short notice. When you put your boat in the water this summer (right?), maybe I'll have to take a cruise up to Delaware and witness the event in person. Best of luck finishing up. It is looking awesome!
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!
Re: Up Grades
To describe all upgrades we have done last year is too much,
next year we change hull color in to black, new swim platform,
sand canvas all over etc ..
From las year for example some pics from wheelhouse:
