[QUOTE="lugoismad, post: 383271, member: 16518"] Hoping to take my boat out weekend after next. Next weekend I have a camping trip planned or I'd do it then. The boat itself hasnt been on the water in about six years. Any suggestions on what to check before leaving dock? I've ran the motor in a bucket without issue. I have a paddle, bilge pump and bail bucket. I filled the inside up with about an inch of water on the bottom and let it sit and saw no external leaks. I've never launched a boat by myself, but my dad is coming along, and he grew up around boats. We had a 19' bayliner when I was a kid. Anything particular to aluminum boats I should know? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
