Shoot there are a few things id like to do, but we'll see how many i get done!

1. Add a fishfinder/gps. Still have to figure out how to hook up both the new toy along with the existing depth finder...
2. Add a grill
3. Polish the toons to a shine
4. Drop the prop down from 16x13 to something like 15x12
5. Get a new towable. (killed the old one, oops)
6. more stuff im forgetting at the moment.. :)

Not much plans for the 'toon other than diagnosing why my Humminbird Pirahna is reading the water temp as 99 degrees. I noticed this the day I took it out of the water when the actual water temp was in the 50s. Probably a bad transducer/temp sensor combo unit.

Too bad the transducer costs more than replacing the whole unit though...

eBay has plenty of them :D

Also have to replace several anodes and touch up the bottom paint.

I also intend to polish the 'toons, but will wait until spring pre-launch when it's warm out.

Getting a gas motor for the dinghy. Need to extend my range when transporting nekkit women at Canal Days. :)

Install a new depth / fish finder.
Add a grill.
Polish the toons.
Install new tow bar for tubing.
Build new storage areas in front (need more storage for adult beverages) :) and replace two front fishing seats with small bench seats. Set up for a second table.

I'm adding a second battery (deep cycle) and a Perko switch. I added a 600 watt amp and new speakers a few months back. I'm just waiting for some cool late afternoon trying to start the big Yamaha after Joy has played tunes all day at excessive volume!! With my luck, the lake will be devoid of all other boaters and the Jump Start will be dead cuz I forgot to charge it.

Cleaning the toons, probably in the spring, and I will be buying new tires and mounting them on the trailer. I also have to re-weld a fender, it broke loose at the end on the season.

I bought a brand new Pontoon Waterglide for half price. The fellow had it for several years and never installed it. I'll install it before the marina puts the boat back in the water in April/May.

Limulus,
I am curious to know how your waterglide install turns out. I hope you can document the job. Thanks!
