Winter Projects List - Lets See Em!

[trayson]

• See if there is enough from the Wife's inheritance to buy us (me) a custom metal carport for the backyard to park the boat and 1 other vehicle under.
• Make my homemade underwater transom lights (I have the housings, the clear encasing expoxy, and the 5050 SMD LED's.) I will likely make extra and sell some off to recoup some money.
• Remove gas tank and replace the packing rope on the rudder. Evaluate if that fixes the rudder play and excess water coming into bilge.
• tune or rebuild carb
• Make a final surf platform after our successful testing of our prototype.
• Install a homemade FAE
• Possibly design/prototype our "Supra Surf System" (SSS) using concepts from the NSS.
• Install a articulating tower mirror arm and the CIPA extreme mirror (if/when I get the mirror for Christmas)
• Install FlyHigh check valves on my ballast bags so I don't have spilled water anymore (direct drive = no hidden integrated ballast, so I have to do what I can).
• Possibly install actuators to convert wakeplate to power (if the cost/benefit is there).
• Finish exterior decals
• Add heated seat elements to driver's seat
• Reject offers from friends with garages and drysuits to go on their boats because I don't have a drysuit and I'm too much of a wimp to just wetsuit it.

The list is long, expensive and ambitious. In reality, I hope I can fix what's broke and do a lot of snowboarding.
