Back to the lake. I had the boat in the water for about 1/2 hour and everything inside was bone dry. I would have pulled it earlier, but the kids decided to swim around and have some fun. Besides checking for leaks, this is one huge morale booster. After a lot of work time spent, itching from fiberglass and getting generally worn down and frustrated, it is good to see it on the water. It gives a lot of motivation to continue this project. Move on to the deck!
