Out she Comes!

Well we have had two summers of fun on the houseboat but we need to bring her home for the winter!  When we put the boat in the water in June 2010, she wasn't really done.  We had some things to do and we did a bubble gum patch on one of the pontoons.  The week before she was to go in we found a place by the port side engine that was cracked.  It was caused by an old accident that had pushed the engine down and was rubbing on the top of the pontoon.  We used some JB weld patched and put it in the water.  It has worked for two years but now is time for a more permanent fix!

In addition the port engine has low compression and needs to be rebuilt or I need to repower the boat.  Not sure what we are going to do until I pull the motors and take them to the shop.  We have a laundry list of little items we want to change, update or finish after being out for two years.  Plus I never got a survey so this will give us a chance to do so.  Then I can get more than just liability insurance on her.

I will be adding some pictures today so stay tuned.
