What did you do to your boat today?

« **Reply #2075 on:** April 20, 2015, 07:52:53 PM »

Continued the sanding adventures on the back end of the cruiser. Some of the heavy repairs are done and now it's down to getting everything true. Hope to have this knocked out by the weekend so I can think about priming and laying down gel soon. Then figure out how to flip it back over!

I went to Castaic and then got a 7 day quarantine.

was your boat wet before getting inspected? (washed it before heading to lake?)

« **Reply #2080 on:** April 22, 2015, 05:38:18 PM »

Please keep in mind, this is my first boat...I actually just picked the thing up on Saturday.

So, I spent the day before running the boat and getting it ready. The following day, I wet/dry vacuumed the bilge area, then used some towels and a hair dryer to get all the last remaining water and moisture out. However, by the time I got to the lake, I must have missed some areas because there was a huge pool of water that must have come up from under the carpet.

Honestly, I was very polite with the guy (Gerardo) who inspected the boat. He in return, was super-rude, short, and told me there was absolutely no way to stop the inspection once he began. He then handed me the quarantine paperwork and walked away. Unapologetic, stone-faced and simply walked back inside the ranger office. No explanation, no nothing.

Either way, 7-day quarantine. Oh well. Thinking of taking it to the Marina just to get my feet wet. I'd like to make sure it's ready for this season.

Went there and got on water till they found out I had no baffles and they didn't even know what baffles where or where to look for them he asked me if they were working due to the three cop cars at the launch ramp said sounded loud!!!!🚤💨💨💨 always put a towel under motor then stop and pull out before pulling in works out for me nice and dry for there so called inspection. I told the guy I thought by that sticker I have that says muscle means I can carry them hahahaha!!!!!!!

Yup, lesson learned. Like I said, this is my first boat ownership so it's inevitable. Just wanted to give this thing a shakedown and make a list of things I need to address. Already saw some fuel leaking from the choke when it was running in the driveway.

Thank you for this! Definitely going to apply this on my next outing before I head out. Seems obvious now.

Wasn't today but this sunday I got to take her out for her 4th trip to the water. Now that the engine is broke in I got to stand on her for a bit. Boy she sure scoots!

I brought her home(and everything I had for the engine build) for the first time at our new place. Damn, feels good. Even if she is stupid dirty.
