Let's play Pimp My Boat...

What have you done or had done to a boat you own to make it special?

I remember the great job Chuck had done on his tug, making it look
better than new.

Who else has really upgraded their boat?

Include photos, of course.


I did a few items over the last few years...such as
install ss backing plated for the shrouds, and grungen & pintle
enlarge the seat & cockpit sole drains c/w the larger thru hull fittings
purchase gusher bilge pump
I had slugs (slides) sewn into my mainsail luff to allow easier hoisting
had sailmaker sew UV strip onto the leach of my self furling genoa
and the biggie...a new ride for my baby's 20 birthday last year...

This year I plan on a bulkhead compass (had a Plastimo Mini Contest in my
hand but put it back due to no compensation screws for deviation
adjustment)
depth meter or fish finder
upgrade electrial system
new battery


Wow. Really going big this year! Nice!


For crying out loud Dan.............do you remember posting this in this
same thread just 2 minutes after your reply to Don:
