Well, I guess you can never say never, but it's a good bet that it won't be Wisconsin and since I have inlaws Canada, I don't have to move there, I can just visit..... Too soon to say where as I don't want to jinx anything, but I can say I have a realtor working.

Had my exterior completely restored and coated prior to putting the boat away for the season.

Outside of general maintenance, tuning up etc, my plans when I unwrap my 24SX are

Install a custom built cocktail table I'm having built over the winter

Replace the Bimini with a hardtop

New stereo system. Replace the basic six speaker system the boat has with something new, plus two tower speakers and a sub

Yes, last year was our first year in the 282 and we enjoyed it.
Carpet was due for a replacement; original Sony Xplod 6 disc CD changer was also overdue...

Really loving this boat and really ready for March / April !!!

Had too many costly porjects last season, so this off-season I'm focused on sampling what kind of bourbon and beer I want to drink next summer πŸ˜‚
