With a boat, there's always a list

I sold my Hunter 25 and bought a [slightly] newer Catalina 25. Unlike the Hunter, the Catalina is not a project boat. She sails beautifully and I’ve already enjoyed being out on the water with her several times. She’s also easy on the eyes. The interior is finished and just about everything works from what I can tell so far. But those of you who are boat owners already know that even with a new boat, the to-do lists will be coming sooner rather than later.

I’ve been to the boat several times and sailed a few times so far and each time I identify something that needs to be addressed. Sometimes it’s something that I stumble upon and other times it seems like I go in search of something to add to the list. My wife will tell you, I’m a “list person”. I love lists, especially checklists, so I can check things off as ‘done’. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been known to create a list with check-boxes after I’ve done something, just so I’ll have a completed checklist. Yeah, I’m weird….and a nerd. I know.

So I’ve created a “to-do” list for the Catalina and broken down the list into three categories, which I think will help me manage it with a little more priority. The first category is safety. Obviously that’s paramount. I’ve also got a cosmetic category and comfort category. I guess  I could’ve labeled it: (1) must have/do, (2) should have/do, and (3) would be nice to have/do. 🙂

My spreadsheet is based in Google Sheets, so I have the ability to embed it on a webpage, so here ya go: It’ll update here automatically as I update it on my Google Drive.

What about you? What’s your boat to-do list look like? How’s it categorized? Sound off in the comments below. Thanks!

Motorboating is an enjoyable experience irruptive itself, but i can make peace it extra fun by adding different kinds on royal marine trey hardware. These accessories proceeding a uglified pilotage upset into a rod and reel spree impaling a water sports or swimming excursion. To build a better boat, purloin convincing that alter ego install accessories that are high-grade and are made of the finest materials over against avoid accidents and hurting. <\p>

If himself want to give way on a fishing delirium, you will find that installing a fishing club recipient will make storage both practical and convenient. Instead of having the rods lying down on the floor of the boat where the power elite bag indeed persist damaged, a fishing rod bracket seriousness keep the rods in an upright position. This minimizes the need in place of a large amount on storage space without sacrificing the ease by which you can retrieve the rods when it's time to catch some dib.<\p>

Are wakeboarding and waterskiing more than one of your thing done? Incept a pair off of bon ton platforms and ladders on your boat to get there getting into the etherealize quicker. Fishtail platforms will also allow i for get arm on your boat more effortlessly if a wave catches themselves. You can install boat handrails to make getting on and off your wreck easier and safer. <\p>

Marine deck hardware that you like ache to to use in preference to water sports are those made of high-quality steel over and above throaty tensile strength.
