Jason my swimdeck gets got, but if I splash a little water on, it immediately cools down. I keep one of those small water cannons (about 1.5 inch OD and 1.5 feet long) that I can just draw water in and wet it down. You might try that.
I was telling my wife yesterday that I might just have to keep a bucket of water to wet everything down before we get in the boat...
Suck because I have to trailer it where I am going to boat. So I would have to go get a bucket or two of water to wet everything down prior to launching the boat. Then stop and rewet things when it dries out...
UHG!
Nah. Just pick up a water cannon and keep it in one of your rear compartments. Easy Peasy
Now that I see your platform, I see the look you were going for. Looks good , and at least the Matworks floor likes to get wet!

Threw the anchor out...only to realize I had unhooked the rode when I was tied up to a mooring ball for 2 weeks in Maine. Anyone want a free Danforth Anchor, you can find it in the bottom of Nahant Harbor just north of Boston

That's why I like boating in 3 feet of water. You just reach Down and grab it.

Thanks for not making me feel like a total idiot. I have a new Fortress Anchor on order, should be here this week.
Oh, and I almost let my new to me boat run out of oil. Now I know where the oil fill cap is and have plenty of backup oil onboard.
Now I just have to get the power steering reservoir cap open. The PO of my boat had massive hand strength, everything is ratcheted down like you would not believe.

Did the obligatory "drag the outdrive up the ramp" the other day. In my defense, I was backing the trailer down to meet the boat. But...my boat, my outdrive. Whoops.
