The Boat Project

Because we don't have enough projects in our life we, of course, bought a boat that is, well, a bit of a project.  Rob's been searching for this exact model on the used boat market for over 8 months so when it came on the market AND was located only one state over, we didn't take any chances and bought it sight unseen.  Fortunately, we weren't disappointed when we did see the boat.  It's a great and solid boat.

 

 

Job one was to get it to Virginia, which we did on a recent Saturday.  We had to rent a U-Haul truck to transport the boat.

The four hour drive only took six.  I was in the tail car, so this was my view for all six hours.

We arrived in one piece and the boat is at the marina being serviced so it will be utterly sound when we launch it.  A thorough cleaning and a complete polishing of the entire boat will be our tasks once we get it back.  It will take a lot of elbow grease (so what's new?) and like all of our projects, we hope it will be totally worth it in the end.
