What are your winter projects?

[88mars2001]

mhaaland, where are you located? I see Iowa tags on your boat!

I just bought a new house, so I have other projects. I hope to get a few things done this winter.

Planned:
1. Re-carpet bunks (been pushing off for months)
2. Clean boat real well
3. Touch up windshield frame
4. Replace fuel filter with fuel filter/water separator

Wish list:
1. Fix sidewall carpet (slightly down)
2. Add another amp for sub
3. Add second simer pump (if I can find one)
4. Change old Sport Nautique decal (not sure to what yet)

Anyone know where I can get some good touch up paint for the windshield frame?

Airtool, thanks for the help

WakeSlayer, I'm not a big fan of the "AIR" that was over the "Air Nautique". I don't mind the "Air Nautique" that looks good. I really like the 00'-03' "AIR" decal and i was wanting to get some practice doing some wet sanding & buffing on my boat before i start doing it on other peoples boats. I thought this would be a good time to take all decals of the boat & start fresh & learn a few things in the process.

Mhaaland...I'm not too far from you. We live on a little lake 30 min west of DM. You do most your boating on Saylorville I take it? I've actually never been out there and I've lived/skied in Iowa all my life!

Apexrig1,

What boat are you doing this for. I had thought about attempting that too.

What grit sand paper(s) did you use? Did you start with something rough and bring it up?

My List:

1. Install my other 2 underwater lights
2. Get the boat to the dealer for warranty items(many of them!)
3. Get windshield re-tinted(going darker)
4. WS420
5. SYN6
6. Pro 485
7. Interior Leds
8. Re-mount amps

9. FIND MONEY TO PAY FOR THE LIST!(probably the hardest!)

RE: Re: teak platform restoration

Well we usually go out early in the year and we don't all have our own life vests so when I go to get in its already cold and soaked. So at least it can be warm and soaked! And I seen the ones on the older 220's and thought they looked awesome!

Here are the pictures of my trailer conversion. This was the highest priority on my project list and I am almost finished with it. I still have to add the fulton winch and jack and my new wheels should be here next week.

I had trailersbydorsey.com add another 5200lb axle, add a rear prop guard roller kit, and add an under boat spare tire mount. I added new bunk wood and carpet. All lights were swapped to LED. I now will feel really comfortable traveling with the boat this coming summer.

Maybe sell mine........

Brad, do you mind me asking what the conversion costs?
