After three marvelous days on the water ( the seas were one foot or less..yowzer ) my wife and I took the boat out of the water. What a great time running down to Portsmouth in the Piscataqua river and up into Kennebunkport and all around. Fishing was disappointing, however , the cruising was exceptional. Now back in New Hampshire, the cleaning begins. Plenty of small mussells clogging the scuppers, and growth all under the transducer and engine housing. A good dousing of bleach and powerwashing and she is feeling better already. 3M polish all around and she is looking good.. My 115 hp Merc seems to run better every season Ive owned it. Flawless. Hope I dont jinx anything here. Petit bottom paint held up well for its second season..clean underneath..Well the summer is closing in fast up here, but the memories will remain all winter. Hope U all had a great boating season, and for some of U, it continues. (Im envious) Greatful for this site..happy boating
