She may be 25 years old, but nothing that an orbital sander, a gallon of Bottom Paint, Deck Paint, 4 new rollers and camel hair brushes, Linseed Oil, Can of polyurethane, 3M Aluminum Polish, 3M Fiberglass Stripper/Polisher, $40.00 worth of window tint, and about 30 hours of some (53 year old) elbow grease, supplied by yours truly can't fix. :8o:

But it gets tougher and takes longer every year to bring back both her's and my own youthful charm.

53, huh? I guess I'm not the only old fart around this place. Great looking boat, sir, the old girls definitely have the charm.

I thought you were talking about my wife. We'd both gladly go back to 53, there were fewer body pains back then. I just got my Tuffy ready today and tomoorow will be the first venture on the water. Hopefully everything will work. The new Lakemaster GPS chip for Wisconsin looked great as I used the cursor to check out a few lakes. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve.

Looks sea worthy to me.
Whens she hitting the water.

My first actual (BIG BOAT) scheduled charter isn't until June 12th. The Hard Core trolling bite only starts a little earlier than that, but is up in shallower water where I hesitate to go. The old gal only gets about 3 month of actual use every year, so she has a pretty good chance of outliving her owner.
