    I miss my boat already.

    Withdrawal is hard. I visualize the new owner abusing them when daydreaming. However, I gave away a 1985 deep-v Sylvan to a friend, I acquired it free also, but I didn't run it or test it at all. He's been using it and calls me with questions when needed. He works on one of the apostle islands...

    Winner 1850cc rear hatch?

    Ok Regardless, it should come out without cutting the area. Did you try to pry it out slowly and carefully.it could be glued down, did you try any adhesive remover along the edges? On another note, did you take a skinny pic and prod the holes to see if there are screws down deep?

    The End

    The runabout and the toon will be pulled today. Covered for the winter. Hope I get the runabout going, yesterday it quit cranking over but it was late in the day so I’ll have to test the wiring. Battery is fine and charged, starter was replaced this spring. Ugh…

    handy cap crane mounting

    One of our fellow boaters installed one on his boat to get his wife in. Not sure how he did it but it worked. If I ever see him again I'll inquire. He is hauled out and he is gone for the winter to places unknown....
