Changed the look a little

Decided to add a red stripe between the bottom paint and the Gold stripe.
What do you all think?

Stripe looks nice. But I think your fender holder would look better on my boat!!

LOL, so do a few other people. Notice how I have it locked down to the bow rail along with the fenders as well. Things have a tendency to walk away on their own sometimes. Especially when it's on the hard and the gate to the club also serves 3 other clubs on the other side.

Spent the weekend adding a 1500W invertor, new dual 10A Marine battery charger, new Lowrance Fish/Depth finder.
Replaced the impellar, while batteries were out and had access to the fuel, and water pump.
Bilge under engine is spotless, not a drop of oil or grease anywhere.
Not a drop of water in that thingy of a fuel separator.

Patching up a few cuts and nicks, bottom paint, cleaning. Re-wired forward bilge pump, rewired nasty job that was done by PO under the helm.

I found wires where he was too lazy to put one straight piece of wire in, but had joined 2-3 wires together for the desired length.

Harness under floor was not attached under deck, but left dangling, floor supports under aft deck were not supporting anything, so I put them back into their proper places.
Fuel line was not secured, but is now.
Looks like the PO had removed the whole back floor for whatever reason and didn't bother to return it to where it should have been.

So, it's been a busy weekend, but all is good.

I just got out of the shower removing black anti-fouling paint. Waiting on the travel lift now!

Probably be Tuesday seeing that they are closed on Mondays.

which Lowrance system did you put in...I've got the HD 2400 radar and a HDS 10 and global map 500 on the upper and installing a HDS 5 on the lower as a repeater. Are you running a NEMA 2k back bone ?

Just the simple things
Depth/Fish is a simple X4-Pro.. good to 2000 feet at 83hz but will use the other setting for 600 feet as Lake Ontario is 600 at its deepest, With 120 degree sweep
and a Standard Horizon Chartplotter hooked into my DSC Radio
Nothing Fancy, just a small F25 weekender and fishing boat.

S.H. is a real good plotter, I never planned on all the stuff but, Followed Paul thru a thunder storm last yr and it sold me on radar and the wife (she who must be obeyed) wanted a repeater for the salon/saloon so she could follow the trip while so watched her soaps.....

and who knows one day I may use the lower station..
