    Bla ha ha!

    Youd have to double his guess on weight for spare pts and tools.

    I bet if you used wing nuts for head bolts, by the 2nd or 3rd one you could change pistons w/o shutting the motors off.

    Slight progress but w/our Ohio winter and no shop, Im going crazy not being able to tear into this thing.

    Sooooooooooo, sold the exhaust and rims and tires.

    Bought new rims/tires.

    Have a virgin set of 27" Hoss Hyperdives on the way.

    Also a set of zero effort racing controls coming.

    Got a set of lighted boat/trailer guides waiting to be installed. I really like these things.
    On a short/steep ramp w/a side wind, the boat drifts off as you pull out. W/guides it wont.
    Being lighted, they are great at night too. Lets you see the lights/corner of trailer from tow vehicle mirrors.
    Especially nice on trailers wider than tow vehicle.

    Included some pixs today.

    #1 for those asking about the bracket and 25" instead of 20" this is a good shot of my old 24' Sonic.
    I installed that bracket for 25" motors. W/20's it would be 5" lower. The Convincor is also 6" narrower so will sit deeper.
    Add 2 adults to the swim platform and it would be under water.

    #2 is the e-bay folding bikes being paddled to shore (to explore our port of call) in our $40 Walmart dinghy.
    All of which will store under the sun lounge.

    #3 the grill that also goes in the "shed".

    #4 morning coffee.

    #5 Sonic #1 in front of the Beer Barrel at Put In Bay on South Bass Island, Lake Erie 20 yrs ago.

    #6 One of my favorite shots. Sonic #1 at Pelee Island, Canadian water of Lake Erie, very early spring, to cure a severe case of cabin fever.

    #7 Always said when you take a small boat to Lake Erie you need a backup plan like this time. After towing 3+ hrs to the lake, it was too rough to go in. We did the bar tour pulling the Winnebago behind us and this was the final stop. Spent the night in the boat in their parking lot then back to the bar for breakfast.
    In the water after breakfast.

    #8 Sonic #2 at Hog Heaven in Islamorada.

    Ive done every type boating and this is my favorite. A different story every trip.

    This why I'm doing what I'm doing.
    Lots of cuddy owners arent aware they can do this same type of adventure.
    Thinking of starting a club.

    If you like natural beauty....., it's the best.

    Ferry leaves from Kingsvle and Leamington.
    New ferry going into service this spring.
    Old one gets rehabbed then back into service on the US side.
    10 times size of existing.

    That and weather are everything to the islands survival.

    Search "Idland Unplugged" on facebook.
    Way cool weekend long music festival on the island.

    Their winery is amazing.
    We normally bicycle over and take the shuttle back to the boat after ��

    There are two annual pheasant hunts.
    Also have a pheasant farm on the island.

    There is monument on the island for the plane that went through the ice 15 yrs ago.
    Ten people and two hunting dogs.

    Pelee is a place/trip you have to plan for.
    Basically no stores.

    My favorite thing is to anchor off Fish Point on the south end, bon fire, shooting starts, exploring by dinghy etc.
    Where I go to recharge my batteries.

    Scudders Beach Bar and Westview have great bands on weekends.
    Bonus points for Scudder Bar being at foot of docks.
