After a week of shuttling vehicles, moving non boat stuff to Everglades City, and celebrating a friends wedding in Athens, GA, we are back at the boat and hastily ticking off the pre-launch to do list.
The engine re-install is complete!

Prior to installing the foreward engine compartment cabinetry we did test run the engine in the boat. After a brief panic due to a loose engine ground wire, the engine ran fine. I am really looking forward to experiencing to what degree the new sound proofing reduces our engine noise while underway.
My parents are in town to assist us with boat projects and shuttling the last of our non-boat stuff out of Beaufort. Bud & I have two coats of anti-foulant paint done and one more to go. Other than panting below the waterline, I spent today tackling a myriad of pre-launch prep. Bud applied a coat of wax to the topsides.

So much still to do... tick-tock, tick-tock
