[quote=tami]Oh, you small-boat guys...

--Miz B's bottom is osmosing or rather I think it's paint blistering from the trailer bunks retaining water, so that needs to be solved. I'm contemplating using the marine felt stuff (http://www.sailrite.com/Boat-Blanket-Fabric-Gray-72) rather than carpet, for the bunks, and I'm really thinking about sending the boat over to Donnie Brennan for the bottom job, since I did the last one myself. I'm prolly gonna grow a third tit from all these chemicals, at least Jay'll be happy about that.
--The bow eye is rusty and probably leaks. I'm not sure how the Hell to reach it, since it's behind the crash bulkhead, way in the bow of the boat. (hence the name 'bow eye.') Jay will likely be put on that one. He's taller, anyway.
--Hatch latch screws Loctited
--Patch the cracks in the cockpit cooler, and enforce my own rule about having bottled beverages in there since it's prolly the bottles bashing the damn thing. Why in Hell can't they put good stuff in cans, I don't know.
--The crash bulkhead flange needs glueing [i]again[/i]
--The throttle extension needs better engineering. You'd think, being married to an engineer...
--The bow light needs replacing
--The screacher halyard continues to twist/hockle. I'm just going to commit seppuku about that. I've spliced up three lines now. I guess it's good practice, if expensive. Refer to earlier 'engineering' remark...[/quote]
