I have seen so many cool mods and projects on the forum. Whether it be on your boat, your garage or anything else, dig through your pics and post your finest work so we have a thread of awesomeness. You know, the kind where you spend way more time and/or way more money than needed and you don’t care one bit because it makes you happy.

My example is the hoist I was “forced” to install when I needed to pull an engine. I could have stopped here as it was VERY helpful and even allowed me to install the engine solo; but...

I smile more now...even though my wife calls me a dork.

Now share your “overboard” projects!
 
Now all you need is a little steel roll-up door you can close it off with.
 
Last year it was building cabinets, epoxying floor and installing a hoist in the garage.

This past month I finished this overhead winch powered SUP/Surfboard garage storage rack. It was way too hard trying to store our boards, so this should help.

Wow. That is very cool @itsdgm. I think I would have a hard time keeping my kiddos from playing on the "SUP elevator" if I had something like that.
 
One time I was out on Lake Barkley in my AR230 with @trace and I realized the depth finder had broken loose from a previous log strike.

Long story short, I reached into the cold water to jam it into place (via the 3 screws still 5200'ed onto it) from the swim platform and literally went overboard...
 
Just the usual for me .
