What's your spring/summer boat projects?

[Moosebunk]

Some upgrades for The Bomber are, the main sonar is now a Lowrance HDS7 and the Humminbird 587ci is headed to the bow. Couldn't turn down the HD7 last summer for $500 new and still in the original box, and it's gonna be sweet finally having a bow mount sonar for laker and smallie jigging. The Powerdrive 55 is soon to be a Terrova 80 with US2 & IPilot too. Will change that out soon enough, still debating on switching out the 8AWG wire to 6AWG for the run from the batteries. Also picked up a new custom made cover and couldn't be happier. Anyone in the Ottawa area wanting a boat cover they should strongly consider LA Barber's Upholstery on March Rd near Carp. They warrantied their fabric 10 years and stitch work for 6, even though I told them the boat is on the road a tonne and the Lund cover only lasted 3. With over 25 years working with the Ottawa Marinas they were confident in their product.

 

The WarCanoe... needs a little paint. Gunnels soon especially, boat next season. Some wood rot to be removed in a keel and splash guard, and replaced with fiberglass. One of the boards in the front seat also has rotted out and I cracked it stepping on that seat last week, so plans to replace it. Can't seem to let this boat go...
