Beautiful.
What is your hull maintenance cycle plan?
Oh, wow, beautiful. Nothing better than a nice bright red hull. We had one on a Tasman 20 Trailer yacht, many moons ago.Update:
Hoping to splash on Thursday. Hull is polished and wax is going on today. New carpets and cushions being installed. New mast installed. Hydraulic pump is now mounted on engine and a new belt guard is installed on the 5.9. New rub rail will be installed at the slip.
Hoping for no new issues!

Ok, no excuse now, Captain Bligh, for not changing that 'disturbing' avatar pic. She deserves to be up there - and more in posts as well.
Got a good look at it yesterday. She looks great! Are you going to be here on Thursday?

Hey Scott, sorry about tying up the lift. Bad day! Got Down East Yankee is back in the water late afternoon and I helped Allen get Frisky ready to go. You going to be around tomorrow? If not, I'll get some pictures of the splash.
Even though my day was less than wonderful and you drove 2 1/2 hours to see your boat launched and didn't get it in, someone comes along and reminds us that it could be worse. Like this poor guy that stuck his pretty tug in the mud close to high tide after you left. That is the channel at the end of Band C dock.
Thanks. Its been a long search. It's funny that I originally wanted this boat to begin with, but wrote it off due to its cost. I then searched and searched and finally came back around to this model. I happenned to choose this one due to its cost.
It really is true that every boat is a compromise. The two major compromises I had to make were ; 1) I wanted a sailboat and 2) price. But all my other needs and wants were fulfilled by this boat. When making my decision I made a list just like all have recommended with wants and needs, then I sat down and chose the boat that best fit that list from all the boats I had looked at over the last 7 months.
I sorry to have to tell you this but a Nordic tug is not a sailboat.....:lol:
