I may or may not regret this based on weather over the next month but I couldn't wait anymore I had to see the boat! I even got to put on my new sticker :winkingthumbsup"
Note- The weather should stay around 50-60 degrees over the next month so hopefully it was a good decision!

It is always nice to see the boat after a long winters nap. Liking the name as well!!

Thank you but it's actually not the name lol there is a gentleman in this group with the name and it's a lyric to one of my favorite songs. I asked him if I could get a sticker of it and he said absolutely! But he deserves the credit on the creativity of it.
 
I was thinking the same thing today as it is 70 degrees and sun in Ohio. I looked at the monthly and the projections show the temp only dropping below freezing (at night) a couple days this month. This may be the first year my boat has come to life prior to April.
 
If I was not working today, I would have pulled the cover also and have a beer in the bow..
 
No snow and in the 70's this week in Ct. but I am not putting away my snow shovels yet. I will curse myself.
 
Glad it's getting some sun after the winter nap!
 
High 60s-70s in OH this weekend with rain, if there ends up being a block of 4 hours without rain Im going out for my maiden voyage.
 
Was in NYC yesterday for business - very jealous of the warm weather down there!!

This year is a particularly painful wait for me, as I bought (on condition of a test drive when the ice is out :)) a 2016 242 Limited S E-Series at the boat show... ice - please melt... please melt... please melt... :)

I used a dewalt polisher/wheel with Mothers Carnuaba Wax but normally I use all Adams Polishes products I just ran out and wanted to wax it.
