April 2022 Picture Thread

I understand your fears and panic stricken moments,

When we first moved to GA and had our first dock, learning curve, LOL We were going out one night and didn't fold in the wake board racks, one caught the dock side pole pulled us side ways and scratched the boat. OMG I was mortified!!

Then we got the lift, and and you have to pull the boat in so fare then hold the front centered until the lift grabs the boat to lift. ( Mind you the wife grabs the front of the dock and holds the boat centered until I take over holding it and she hits the lift, well I pulled the boat in too fare and the lift went up and the nose caught the dock, ohh man the scratches and stuff, I was literally ready to be sick.

Although my personal pleasure is smack it if its there <you get it> lol


We got her fixed, and its a learning thing, it lets you know, these things are physical and can be fixed, but that doesn't mean you don't love them as real objects in your life.

I'll tell you Hak, that thing looks better than it did the day you bought it! Looks good!

Don’t be too jealous. This Houstonian won’t make it out for the first day until late June. Weather is warm enough now but with Friday crew changes my first weekend off is wasted with travel, my second weekend we have to head to east Texas to visit family (mom and siblings potentially all in the same place at the same time, a rare occurrence). My third weekend will be spent driving to Florida and my fourth will be spent driving home from Florida. Then it’s back to South America for 4 weeks. Latest start ever for us.

Last year was an absolute waste of a season due to work. Maybe got the boat out 5 or 6 times. I’m hoping to make up for it this season though!

Forgot I took some pics of the dock rash that thankfully peeled right off. This was after I had removed it all from all along the gel coat, after my heart had settled :D. Imagine leaning over the side of the boat after hitting and your eyes seeing this all down the metal flake and trying to calculate the cost of repairs lol. That’s all I was thinking and wished I had take a pic how bad it looked all on the boat.

This is only emblem left with it …

Like it never happened! Just need to reapply some wax to shine it back up…

Sounds like the dock you go to is a lot nicer than mine is. Our would have been metal against fiberglass or worse a few old bolts sticking out. Glad it all shined back up for you.

They recently upgraded the dock during the winter. If it was the previous condition it would have for sure chewed me a new one!

Everyone needs a good heart stress test every now and then! [emoji1787]

Brought the boat home into the new garage - Excited to never have to pay someone to store our boat or for it to ever have to sit outside! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...16a0e83886.jpg
