There always seems to be another project on the horizon, and as you gain experience with a boat, you come across opportunities for improvement. After six years with the boat, it looks like the list of new projects is getting pretty short. The year 2000 & 2001 were 'easy' years as far as maintenance and repair goes, primarily due to the amount of work done in the 2 prior years. This year (2003) and last year (2002) were busy with two major refurbishment projects completed. I still have a list of projects on the plate to continually enhance the boat.
