Well if it will make you better. I laid on a tarp in the mud under the boat. Washed and waxed the underside up to the rub rails and the did the trailer. Yes I waxed the trailer to.

I greased the bearing buddies on my axles. Greased the outdrive. Waxed the outdrive. Put the prop on and waxed it to.

There that should bring your fever down a couple degrees buddy.

Well lets see if pics stick.
-To date 2 layers 1700 on roof
-1st 1700 on exterior starboard with 2nd going down today. Lots of sanding etc and cleaning up.
-Mounted seat block/captain side interior with @ 4-6 coats 1700.
Weather looks like its going to co-operate here for the next few days. Placed another order for glue.

I hope all are well and taking care of your families and self.

Well time to get out on the boat and throw on some glass.

 

[chevymaher]

LOL all I got to do is back it up and start it. I went to the boat landing yesterday it is getting close. It is flooded almost to the parking lot. Dock it ready to go in. They had cones up it was coronaclosed. Now it is open and there were 3 out yesterday.Launching from the mud bank I am sure.

I will go out in a minute and look at her. My new prop. Still hunting around for the perfect one she likes the best. It is a 3 blade 20 ptitch this year. And I got the 19 from Mickey to try.

My sons whining in his monotone. Are we ever taking the boat out again. Ah like you said to be young again and have no patience.

 

[kcassells]

Thats great you are getting out. I know the kids are going stir crazy. My grand kids are driving my daughter nuts too. mickyryan has a couple hundred props. lol! I don't have it but their is a prop calculator. Plug info in and gives feedback etc..
Was supposed to be nice here today. Dark, cloudy and fine mist. I'll do something inside the boat that's all.

Pics from yesterday..... Cont on 2nd glass starboard today and front windshield. Weather broke late in day so most today was while under cover.

 

[kcassells]

Cont. working on exterior cabin glass today. The front windshield eventually bowed. That would give me some window install issues. Part of yesterday was kerfing at the bowed areas so I could add some flex and fill with pb. I let that sit till today.
Seemed to turn out good. Sanding, cleaning and cutting/installing 1700. The front I did in pcs. rather than 1 large pc. Made installation easier, saved some time and glass. Also able to do this wetonwet.
I used a mini jack to help push the ply square.
Think I have pics figured out, let's see.

Hi Eric,
Quite doable as a 1 man job, it is ultralight, has 2 side zippers that allow all or partial display. That crap I had going on 3 weeks ago still has my body in a bad place.
Slow to go but grateful for that.
Days seem long, birds seem louder and the silence of outside is strangely deafening.
So..............completed glassing the front windows, touch ups, filets for port side cabin. Then I'll glass that side. Do some sanding then fairing. Glue landed today so theirs some incentive.
