Thanks for getting the SOTY ball rolling....

There have been a few lately, but they weren't well documented efforts posted along the way, only completed projects posted after the fact. So not really in the spirit of the award...

A stunning wooden boat rehab comes to mind, 100% after the fact, nice work though, exceptional even....

There may have been more, and potentially still could over the next 45 or so days, splash.

Let's get them in the water!
I know it's early but what the heck 😊

@huggyb1972 splashed his Bayliner Capri 2150 a month ago

Bayliner Capri 2150 resurrection.

Hey guys, yes Sam is correct I am ready to splash the boat but I am in motor purgatory, the mechanic working on it is waiting for parts, hopefully this week I will know what is up. I have a trolling motor I could throw on it, would that work? I don't want that to be my splash either, fingers crossed. Fortunately being in Florida, like Micky has said, boating season starts AFTER Labor Day! I am frustrated but trying to stay patient...

As far as I'm concerned if it's in the water and moving with some kind of propulsion it's splashed! 😊

Thanks for the vote. I appreciate it.

The lake folks set off fireworks they were so excited to see us on the water for the 1st time since we bought this thing 6 years ago. They tried call it a labor day celebration, but I know what they meant.
