Thread: Preparing for a great summer

    Preparing for a great summer

    Well - Working away gives plenty of "planning" time - or so it appears!

    So I've been looking at what I can do to sort the Cat and make it ready for some well earned 'boat therapy' in the upcoming months (currently Snapper fishing is banned).

    This was 3 months ago... I started by fitting a new Gunwale Rubber.





    Then had the Motors fully serviced, New impellers, Control cables and just had the carbies rebuilt - The engines run like a dream now.

    And then decided I hate pulling anchors! So I ordered this - I have not finished installing yet.


    And then I named her.... (She's never had a name )



    And to make it a bit easier to get aboard after a swim


    Fitted one of these rocket launchers... So handy...


    Chucked a new Number plate on the trailer


    Ordered a new Wheel.


    A couple of new SOLAS 4 Blade Props...


    On the "To Do" list are still:

    - New Stereo System
    - Redo Carpet on Deck
    - Polish Hull
    - Fix a few chips in the Gel coat
    - Fit the new Switch Panel
    - Line forward Cabin

    But she's nearly ready to rock!!!!

    Shifted mine into the D2s spot in the carport yesterday.
    In the next few weeks Im doing the following(already got the bits).
    Wire spare battery in with Cole Hersey switch and new master switch.
    New second bilge pump.
    New fuel lines.
    New Rego stickers.
    New LEDs for trailer.
    New AM/FM antenna.
    New split tubing(old stuff looks crappy/falling to bits).

    Managed to finally secure 7 nites in Albany today just before I go back to work
