Hi everyone. I have been gone from this board for a while. Been struggling to keep my head above water, too busy to think about much else. I did some work on my boat, including a lot of new Awlgrip, in my yard. It's been done for a while, but I am unable to get the boat on a trailer. Tried last week with a large backhoe to lift the boat high enough to get the trailer under it. The two aft poppets twisted and the boat fell. (ouch) I'll be getting an excavator here to lift her, maybe tomorrow morning. Anyhow, here's a photo or two. Came out nice!!

That must make for a nice ride. Looks like the biggest 26 ive ever seen. Good luck with her this season........

Thanks for the complements! Splash date? She was ready three weeks ago...... Looks like she could go in tomorrow. I'm getting 3-5 calls every day for charters. The second she splashes that will stop! Ahhhhh well.........

Thanks, Alex. Just big enough to do some serious offshore, yet small enough not to be a major drain on the $$$ side
