hey Billy Bob . . . watch for the steeeeep ramp

Glad the manufacturers and others support your work!

I am selecting a fiberglass pulpit. I am not using wood anywhere outside of the boat . . . lots of wood inside however The basic pulpit, quite a large strong one as I am installing a winch, with the stainless steel rollers is about $600 to $675 . . . I am not sure what size until I measure the boat I am not sure yet how the pulpit will be attached. There are two sets of bolts, about 6 for the pulpit to the hull and about 4 from the winch through the pulpit andthen the hull. I will have to install some sort of backing inder the bow deck but I have to remove the header to see what I need there. I will also have to shape the pulpit or add something so that the surfaces match with the hull. YES, I will post pictures, but this project will not start till May or June.

one4water In reading your list I saw the bilge pumps I read my survey report and I think on a good day that I can pee almost as fast as my tiny little bilge pumps I have to upgrade mine THANKS

greg I read your list and added shaft cutters to my list . . . should be easy because I am pulling the boat out of the water for the transducer Thanks

Like everyone who gets a new-to-them boat, there are a pile of small jobs that they want to do on their boat. Well I sat down last night and started my to do list for 2010 - Install a pulpit and winch - Install complete set of electronics and controls in the cockpit (8 inch Furuno NN3) - Find a way to store more than 20 rods and reels on the boat without having to take them apart - Install a search/spot light on the boat - Install the heater on the flybridge - Install a new transducer to match the new electronics And still have time to go fishing . . . want to do 20 overnight fishing trips this year Will have to see what I run out of first . . . time or money What is on your list? added to the list because of your suggestions rope cutters on the shafts larger bilge pumps

I am 60 and happily married for 40 years I have travelled to over 100 countries and seen most of the wonders of the world . . . so I have been very lucky with the truly important things in life Here is my bucket list for fishing and boating - Spend 2 months in Australia fishing and scuba diving - Bring a great-grandchild fishing with me (I already have 3 grandchildren and the oldest is 18) - Catch a 250 pound tuna and a 250 pound swordfish and a 250 pound marlin in the same calendar year - Do 25 overnight fishing trips in one calendar year Another item on my list (not fishing related) is to finish the book I am writing on my wife's and my family. I am currently at over 300 pages and it seems that I have barely scratched the surface WHAT IS ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?

That is as bad as " a baby seal walked into a club "

I was quite disappointed . . . guitar was great, the vocals were not
