March 1st is when I traditionally retreat to the garage to start getting the boat ready. Things might be a bit delayed this year. It's a frosty -2 degrees outside, and the garage isn't heated. Oh yeah, I'll bundle up and go out and start digging out the boat, but no real work will take place till it warms up a bit. I'll be doing some work on the floor, and livewell. Might get a new trolling motor. It's an old Sylvan boat, and I'm at the point of having to decide weather to do a pretty substantial restore, or just get another boat. I'm leaning towards a restore, but if the right deal comes along????? I might get a new trailer. All the rollers are shot, and I could probably buy a better trailer I don't have to work on for not much more than it'd cost me to replace the rollers and recarpet the bunks. I've got a new depth finder to put in too.
What's your punch list look like for your boat this spring?
