So after 20 years out of the water and a bunch of work today was splash day.
We need details of what you did, back story and such....oh... and pics or it didn't happen! lol
Well a bit if the story is this Mark 1 has been at a club in shrink wrap since 2002 Its had to believe that the wrap lasted this long but the former owner did a very good job with the support and protection of the shrink wrap so it lasted till about 2020 without a hole in it. I noticed this boat at least 6-7 years ago then the boat yard where my dad had his boat it was at the back and it was usually within site of my dad's boat during winter storage.We need details of what you did, back story and such....oh... and pics or it didn't happen! lol
Today I was told a 20 or so foot boat inside a boathouse on the hard has sat in there for some 20 years and may never see water in the owners lifetime.As everyone has said - Congratulations!!!! A while back I viewed a boat that had been on the hard for 18-years... I was dumbfounded that folks were willing to pay storage for that long. (I believe it had 2 owners over those 18 years. Last I heard owner three was making progress!) Peace, Prayers, and Fair Winds! Pete
.... what stories there may be.
Its a Cat 3208NA and a friend that is a marine Diesel mechanic told me to put a battery on it and start it... I was truly amazed when it cranked about 1 rev and started and ran smooth... I did similar to the Onan gen and it too started (not as well as the Cat) but both ran... I proceeded to check the electrical system on the boat and its in very functional condition.
