Alright guys, so it's been a while. The last couple months I've been super busy at work, and super broke at home. BUT, I managed to take a couple days off this week to work on the old Pirate ship at the landlocked Rolesville Marina. Today Dave and I managed to do away with the lake mast and put up t...

This weekend was PRODUCTIVE. I pumped at least 50 gallons of water out of the old V23, stripped all the parts that I want to add to my boat, and gave her a good cleaning.
