Got her waxed including putting Woody's on the bright work. Polished up the stratoglass too plus and this is the best part. I installed, with the help of my son , the world's best anchor!!!! I know it's too good to be true.

Oh, I got a tip here a few years back on the rub rail. Doc Stressor told me acetone is a great cleaner and it is.. Then somebody suggested using mop and glo on the rub rail. I have been doing that now for 2 or 3 years.

We drive to Orlando Saturday and head to Key Largo on Monday. Last September booked 2 weeks. Wife is freaking out some due to Covid. Last time I checked Covid doesnt live on the reef or the Gulfstream.lol.

Travel safe & enjoy; as stated above, the boat looks great!

RE: Covid; I would consider having gloves in the truck and donning them whenever you fuel either the truck or the boat. Fuel dispensers are touched by many hands that are attached to people who don't care. Otherwise, leave off hugging strangers, have a mask or two handy and indulge.

Just got back from Sarasota last night. Definitely bring a mask at minimum. We were told not to come in some stores if we didn't have a mask, others, even store owners didn't have masks on.

Try and have fun and watch your motor this year. Should of had an Evinrude wrap put on it, guaranteed not to steal, no value since Erude is out of the game now.

Looking great. Yes. Acetone is one of our trade secrets in the business. Guess it is no secret no more. Lol. You are going to have a great time.

That Evinrude thing is darn funny. You're right, slap an Evinrude decal on it and people run away . Lol.

We got the mask thing down. We own two retail stores and have to do the dance ourselves.

She looks great and ready for action. Enjoy your stay there and keep safe .
I don't know about you but I don't leave the front clear on when trailering, especially at 60-65 mph.
I use this on mine.

The curtains come off when trailering. Two things can happen ...tons of flying insects getting killed and their body fluids smearing over the curtains and you could out right lose them with vibration and wind.

It may be the camera angle, but not much clearance between the tire and the fender. One bump and that fender hits the tire.....

Venture Boat Trailer.

My experience with that manufacturer was certainly an Ad-Venture, and not in a good way.

Hopefully Smoky has better luck than I did o_O
