Nice.

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.

I'm in buddy! See how quick we became buddies

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

Bimini fabric replacement
Aft filler cushion getting made
Bow filler cushion getting made
New sea grass flooring
Fusion stereo with JL speakers
Other end of season squaks and cleaning.

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

First step already complete... Hill 4x4 22P props. Next up for the spring is a new Garmin ECHOMAP UHD 93sv
