Took a 1/2 day off today and finished w/the polisher.
Ugh!

Am still stunned at how well this turd from Bucyrus Ohio turned out!

I assumed the gray was toast and why I put the “Cocky” name over where the Convincor sticker was.
Kind of a joke as I knew it would be painted.

If a guy wanted to get serious, you could block/polish this entire, 37 yr old boat and end up w/a knew one!

Well done Checkmate!

Yeah the freeboard is up there but only 8ft beam. It's a little stubby compared to my Superboat, Excalibur,etc but more inline with my Carys

That's why I paint all my boats with automotive products, not pourous enough to fade like gelcoat for long time...shines easier too..

Couldn’t be happier w/the end result!

Cary, one thing I learned spinning the wheels in is, it sucks around dock! Made a fool of my self docking the damn thing!

Saturday we did the 25 ml trip to Middle Bass Island, another class A marina! First time I ran compass course on that trip to conserve gas. Out of site of land for 1/2 the trip! I live for that ****!


The adult wading pool behind our favorite bar on the planet! JF Walleyes!

Home base for the weekend. Huron Ohio. Class A marina w/an amphitheater cut into a hill over looking it. Killer band Sat no get. And got a tour of the gorgeous 37’ sailboat beside us! Once again reminded how lucky I am to have the wife I have when I crawled out of the cuddy to make coffee Sat morning and the guy on the sail boat says, “didn’t know that thing was big enough to sleep aboard?” I said, yep, and got one more bellow.

Beautiful...i wouldn't think with all that weight aft that you would have to spin in...i hated it, boat handled scary at times,wife noticed right away. Not to mention sucks at the dock. Out is correct, it wrights the boat as it counters the roll...in makes it want to roll over...

I spin in on my boat (I know whole different thing) but they way to help around docks is to trim it out a little so the prop wash goes under the boat.

I don't even notice the difference.
