It is amazing how the learning never stops. Of course are our boats never the same one year to the next! My crack launching specialist polished off the bottom painting, getting the pad areas and other tough trailer spots. The stick went up on the first try, only forgot to add the toping lift I was going to put on this year, (I will send someone up to do that later). VC 17 needs to dry 20 minutes below 60 degrees so we let her hang while we prepped the slip, (I moved so I face south now - yeah). No real issue; did wind the furler drum backwards the first time - doh! Now it is a boat again.

Congrats Frank. Amen on the topping lift. Last boat had one, this one doesn't. What a pain in the...cockpit.

Nice pics...love the glass hatch cover.

With the rain we have been getting I don't think I'll need to trailer to the lake, it's splashed in my drive way.

Look great Frank. I had a toping lift on my list but to my suprise, there is one on the boat but the PO did not know what it was. He was using the pigtail and just tied off the topping lift. Thanks for the pics.
