This spring we purchased a used quicksilver dinghy. It is in good shape, but I do not like the options for placement of the davit pads. On Saturday we had to move the already installed davits on the swim platform. Screwed that up! Ended up drilling five more holes than necessary;lost a drill bit in the lake and made a few runs either home, or to the hardware store. As for the extra holes, there is some glass work we planned on doing at the end of the season, so I guess we just have a little bit more to do.
Tonight we glued on the pads which required trimming the pads due to the limited options on the inflatable. I purchased the glue from weaver and followed their shity instructions. Hopefully it ends up working out.
I also am buying a 9.9hp Johnson short shaft from a friend with very low hours, so once we have this all done we should be set.
Oh yeah, the trip has been modified again! But I will save that for another day...
