New boat

Got 4 ~ 8" bumpers, 4 ~ 1/2" x 20' dock lines, 150' anchor line and a new anchor. All bright blue to match. I almost fell over when I saw the price difference between the stuff for a smaller boat (I.E. 21') and what I need for this one. The bad thing is $450 later and I am still not done buying the required equipment yet :pissed: .

Still got some Eddie marine parts I want to order to dress it up as well. Its nice buying something I have to do nothing to other than fill the tank and buy a couple accessories for. At least till I upgrade the power ;)
 
Just thinking you might want to get a power winch set up on that one too.
Makes it real easy just pushing the button.
 
You might want to swap 2 of those lines for 30 footers I have a pair of 20 footers that I never seem to use anymore because for some reason they always end up being a few feet short

Add a slide anchor to the list... you want good anchorage for them
overnights ;)

I think you've seen mine.. worth the money imo. The unpolished galvinized
version is somewhere around $170 and they also make a stainless polished version for more $... but I couldn't see ever buying a polished
anchor.

Also, you already know I like the boat.. I look forward to seeing it tied
up with me at Cumberland this season.:thumb:

I'm hoping we can tie your fuel overflow into my fuel fill. No need to dump that 93 into the water when I got this thirsty beast! :D

I'm ready to go to cumberland....... now :)

I'm thinking it will probably be next month till the 24 is ready to roll.

I need to pull the port steering cylinder and get a seal changed in it... also have small stuff to take care of. Then I gotta clean it! I got the cabin all done, but am waiting till the mechanicals are taken care of before doing the rest of the boat. Its the only project I'm working on now, so it should go pretty fast.. but with the cold weather, I'm not really in a big hurry.
