This is my boat and trailer in it's winter storage spot. Soon I'll squeeze it through the gate and get it ready for fishing.

Spent the last few days working on my zero turn lawnmower. The hydro drive units started acting up. Decided to change oil in the drive units, didn't realize they had to be removed to change the oil !! Was told at purchase they were serviceable units....they are not !! Of course the dealer closed last summer so attempting the job myself. Getting ready to reinstall them....not a fun job...need about 4 more hands....make sure the hydro drive units are " servicable" if anyone buys one !!
Replacing a couple of sections of rotten barge rafter. This is not on my fun things to do list, but it has to be done. Thankfully, we are in a one story house.
Moved and spread 1/2 a dump truck load of cedar mulch and mowed the lawn for the first time this year Saturday. Raining today. Going to Cosco for meat to restock freezer. It's tough cooking for just 2 sometimes. We usually by meat in bulk and break it down an vacuum pack into 1 meal quantities and freeze. Having said that, with the current price of groceries I would hate to be buying for a large family.
Next two days will be yard work, spring window washing, and a lot of complaining about a sore back.

Stocking up on bait and making sure everything is ready to go once mother nature gets ahold of herself. Been getting less salamanders and more crayfish in our traps.
Now that's a boat. Tell us more about this "Crazy Boat" you just bought. Looks great.

Don't see any fishing rod holders ?? Lol...
It's a four Winns HD8. 26.5', 300 HP Merc V8 on the back. I sold our summer home back around 2016, my daughter now 14 was reminiscing about the house and the boat especially. I originally wanted a 14' tinner. But hearing her pine over the memories I broke down. We went to Indiana and looked at a smaller boat but it wasn't built for the waters off NJ. So we flew home and looked around. Almost pulled the trigger on a Solara, but the warranty was only 1 year. Came upon this Four Winns and it ticked nearly all the boxes. It's a family fun boat and I want to enjoy my family now before she goes to college and has to start work when life kicks in. For me it is all worth the cost and expense. I can always downsize later.
Here's a link. Mine is all white https://www.fourwinns.com/us/boat/hd8

There aren't many, if memory serves me right there are either 2 or 4 at the stern and that's it. I'll have to rough it.
Superb indeed. An onboard toilet! Lounge area! 300 HP. Yep, that's got it.
I don't think you could sink that boat too easily. Is this correct?
