Just a quick note to say that the haul out was a success, and was able to get the boat up the slight hill to my folks house, which makes for security, and easy water and electricity.

I have attached a pic of the boat on the stands I had made, as well as a close up of the blisters above the waterline. I have to raise the bottom paint line to just above the through hulls, and I will sand/grind out the blisters and fill with epoxy. A few of them cracked open just from pressure washing. Happy to hear any tips.

I have a number of maintenance issues to do, as well as some upgrades (Simrad autopilot, new transducer, etc..) . Will post the engine related stuff here.
