General Plans

I’ve got a lot of stuff to get worked out...

The marina - is a ‘fun’ story.  

Basically, no one but the owner seems to know anything about who’s next up for a slip, or basically, a whole lot of anything that’s helpful. I kind of get it, but as this is an Army Corps of Engineers built lake, and thus controlled by NC State Parks and Recreation - it’s a single marina that has lock-in, and I’m at least somewhat sure the marina is mostly family-run. We’ll keep at it, but sort of trustrating to always get voicemail.

Meanwhile, there are things I know I’ve got to get - and get sent to Kevin for the boat, and a hundred smaller things I want to cosnider or get, from the more immediate to the longer term or sanity items, like maintenance and owner manuals and the like.

• Rebuilt or new B3 lower - going to have to get one.

• New HVAC unit.  The existing is 20 years old and seems unlikely to be worth trying to repair.

• Sort of what I’ll be having Kevin do

  • End to end inspection

  • Impeller and tune-up

  • Anode kit + add prop anode

  • Replace slightly leaking trim manifold

• Trailer checkout - grease bearings, check brakes, tires, etc.

• Try to find online versions of all owner and maintenance manuals

• Figure out any additional lines and fenders needed, if any

• Figure out exactly how we’ll be cooking on the boat

• Look into options for canvas and pricing

• Sort out some of the other misc bits I know I’ll be wanting or needing

  • 12vDC fan(s?) for inside the boat

  • USB 12v socket adapters

  • LED replacement lights - likely

  • Various boat cleaners and bits
