I got one of those with my boat. I never used it.

I never knew they existed until my endless searches for other things. It was stuff I had laying around so I figured what the heck.
This boat has been out of the water so long (registration) that it has to be rebuilt (title, not a damage title). By this time tomorrow.....

 

[88 Capri (2022 SOTY)]

Success!

Congrats. I was doing that today. Now my son has his licence I sit in the bow. I went early this morning nice and cool. Skies looked like where you are. It just gets better the longer you do it.

Congratulations! You put so much work into your project and now you can enjoy the result. Thanks for all the motivation you have given me and others as we try to get our projects from "Oh crap, what did I get myself into" to "This boat is great and it is now fun" Enjoy!

Awesome! Way to go ! congrats! A long road but worth it! Nothing beats being on the water. Love the pics. Hope you can enjoy a couple more weekends on the water. Upstate NY lakes are amazing.

I have to get my license in 2024, they are slowly mandating that everyone has one which I think IA very smart.

Thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it

I'll tell you one thing my boat looks like a jetski compared to some of the others and the waves are much larger lol

 

[88 Capri (2022 SOTY)]

I still have alot to do but at least we can use it.
Another couple of lake pics.

Congrats, always nice to see em floating again. BTW Im drooling over those boathouses in the background, I would love to have on of those but they dont allow them here anymore and the ones that exist or coveted.

Congratulations! Great to see you’re out on the water!

No biggie I studied with my son I gonna pass if they require it.

I am by no means done with this but I need to say...
I can't name all of you so I'm not going to even try to but without your support and willingness to share knowledge I could never have gotten to this point and say that I'm forever grateful to you all.

On a side note to those who see this post do not be offended by responses you may receive to your questions because the members here know and that's that I for one am grateful

I'll share some details of my experiences in a little bit, I need to let the adrenaline run down
