Pulled the boat cover...
and it looks like the Ranger came through the winter just fine.
Probably just a quick wash and light wax, power wash the interior and we're off and running. The new hull bottom looks real good - changed the lines of the boat quite a bit - I didn't notice that when I picked it up in December. Here's some images. http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/bottom01.JPG http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/bottom02.JPG http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/bottom03.JPG http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/bottom04.JPG Season's getting closer - maybe first run next week. |

Tom, you've got rust on that fender! http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/bottom03.JPG And interesting, that the green metalflake has now turned blue. That is except in the pic that I saved and now it's black. Mold problem? |

Either Ranger or Tom didn't opt for the much more expensive non-rusting type. 8-) The "mold' you are seeing is the edge of the carpeted bunk rails. Very easy to analyze if you take the picture to enlarge it a bit. |

Either Ranger or Tom didn't opt for the much more expensive non-rusting type. 8-) I just went out and looked at that - didn't notice it. Must have not been non-magnetic stainless. I ran into that on the trailer in another place - up where the bow post is clamped to the trailer frame. I have three big 1/2 clamps securing the bow post to the trailer and last year, one rusted over winter. Removed it and used a magnet - sure enough. The "mold' you are seeing is the edge of the carpeted bunk rails. New carpet and bunks this year too. Next year, probably stainless discs and new calipers. |
