...fire suit on, so here comes some new mods . Just kidding I'm caught up on my sleep (up to 6 hours a night now --- getting old sucks) so I'm looking forward to any and all thoughts on these mods and I don't want to just hear the good stuff

I pretty much finished the new boarding ladder and changes to the pushpit except for some small things I want to do to it later. Ruth is especially happy with this. She can now easily board the boat. It is strong and I have no fears of anyone regardless of size or strength using it. You can grab the ladder or pushpit rail anyplace and pull as hard as you want and you just rock the boat and the whole trailer. The build on it starts here......

.......... and goes for 5 long pages and here I thought I could do this in one afternoon .

During the course of changing the pushpit around and adding the ladder extension I also made a platform for our.......

........ cheap $30 Walmart propane BBQ grill. We'd like one of the nice stainless ones at some point, but for now this is going to have to do. How I incorporated it into the pushpit mods is here.....

Well today I have to figure my dreaded taxes out and then it is back to finishing the trailer, so we can get the boat out of the shop. We are suppose to have sunshine and high 60 low 70 deg weather with night time lows of around 40 next week, so we sure would like to try our hand at this sailing deal soon. Then get ready for all the questions

c ya,
