Well, I finally got down to the boat today took the cover off folded it. It’s very heavy and I put it away, which was no easy feat. Then I took the supporting structure apart lowered the pieces down and stored them. Next trip out will be to clean the hall following one to paint the bottom. Then we pick up the boat, put it in the water.

@GoFish Went down yesterday to clean the hull... I took the batteries down and installed them as well..

GoFish ·

@pdqsailor1 oh so you remove them during storage?

pdqsailor1 · 61-69, M

@GoFish In this case yes because they are lithium Iron Phosphate batteries and they prefer warm storage.. They are very costly batteries so its best to protect them properly.. They are also quite light at about 22 pounds each so its much easier and safer to handle them than it would be for lead acid batteries..

@pdqsailor1 oh i see, cool ☺

@GoFish and guess what else is going to be ready this week?

It looks a bit better than it did a bit less than a year ago...

Keep in mind that there are NO parts available to fix this car... I found and purchased a donor car to get the pieces required to fix it..
