With the super nice weather, this last weekend was our first chance to finally pull Firefly out of her garage and get back to work...and work we did! We mounted the new motor mount, polished the sides, installed the new dolphin striker, reinstalled the rudder and tiller. I also got the cabin hatch sliding smoothly and we rebedded the front eye hook for safety. A few more holes to fill, reinstall the cabin parts and get the companionway hatches reinstalled, finish the new mast support for the bow that Stacey has started designing based on another Fox owner's photos (Thanks QuietBoating.com). I also hope to get Firefly over to a welder to create a new stern/rudder mounted mast crutch at some point.
The things that will likely be left over this year until next season is the interior cushion recover, the electrical rewire/repower and some minor comfort odds and ends. Along with hopefully a trailering cover, new bimini and a cockpit table. New lifelines are on the list, ours are really ugly but...they will have to wait.
