Well, as some of you know, there was a storm late last summer that caused a tree to fall on this boat. See this thread for more info on that. It broke one of the windshield panes and messed up most of the railings on the top deck. At the time of the incident, the lake level was too low to get the boat off of the lift, so it had to sit on my lift like that all winter. I used adhesive plastic wrap (the stuff used on crashed cars) to keep water out, and I wrapped the holes in the deck where the railing pulled out with the same stuff. It sat like that over the winter, with Xtreme heaters in the engine compartment and battery maintainers running, along with a dehumidifier in the cabin.
Finally, today, we're going to pull the boat out of the water and put it in indoor storage. While we won't be restoring this one right now, at least it will be protected from the elements until we can get to it.
I got both engines running again today, and we're about to drive it over to the boat ramp and put it on the trailer. Wish us luck!
I promise, this one WILL be restored and it will be awesome!
