Finally got her back after a long winter in storage. Only April 2 in Seattle (read: cold, more than likely rainy), but very happy and will take any chance I have to get out on the lake. Few maintenance items (spark plugs, impeller, fuel filter) to get ready for the season, but she is ready to go for a ride!

I gotta believe there will be lots of driveway boating pics this month.

Pulled the shrink wrap off Sunday, dropping it off for detail Saturday and you can bet I'm stopping at the gas station to top her off while prices are this low.

Yep waiting 2 more weeks to fill her up.
So it's your fault it's raining out then!!

not raining here, sunny and mid-50s today. As usual, keep all that cheese water up there, waters already getting close to flood stage, river is already no wake. Can't catch a break this season...

Sorry you have more water coming your way. It's early yet. Really the dams have been open since Feb 2019.
Anyways did some quick garage boating. 1 circuit breaker popped for the stereo. I'm thinking from the battery charger spikes. Then the new oring for the drive oil lube is leaking so I'll have to get another new one. I bought 2 of them and they said they were Volvo ones but I'm having my doubts. So I'll have to get a new one before I do anything now.
But listened to a few songs got my fill for the day and covered her back up. I still gave her a kiss good night. It's nice having it 5 get away all the time.

That's one sharp looking boat you got there.

The boat launch at the resort a mile from our home on our walk today. The point across from our home also had some open water which makes me happy and hopeful that the ice will be out in the next 10 days. The dock and boats could both be in the water in another four weeks!

First time on the water this year and the gel coat got the ceramic coating. I don’t know if it is any better or not but I think it looks nice.

Looks nice DP.
Bfun looks like that will be my new home launch this year too. Brother sold the lake house. It's official.

Went down today and pulled the cover and gave it a good wipe down. Also upgraded the garmins to the latest firmware. Hoping to make the first trip out on the lake tomorrow afternoon once we get off work!
