Closed the deal last week. Looking forward to the trip back to Lake Michigan next week. Wll be based at North Shore Marina in Grand Haven. Absent the tower to fit thru the canal. If anyone has an interest in the tower it will be in Annapolis area for sale real cheap!!

Took a few photos are part of the trip back thru the Erie Canal and into the Welland. Had to remove the tower and had some issues in the Welland as they flooded number 7 way to fast. Needless to say the Canal refused to take any responsibility for screwing up. Have to pursue it in a legal matter to get them to respond.

Great trip and had great captains to bring it back.

Hope to have some sunny pictures on Lake Michigan here shortly

Todd,
Nice boat! Enjoy it!
We have done quite a bit of customizing to ours. I am heading over to it now and will take some pics, if I can remember to take the camera!

A question, I noticed that you have some awesome temporary cleats/fender holders in your rod holders. I have searched and can not find them. They appear to be of superior quality, stainless and with the horizontal cleats, exactly what I need. Would you mind helping a fellow Ocean man out and revealing your source?
Thanks and safe boating!

Here is the site for the fender holder

They have been great and very easy to move around. Ended up with 3 of them to make sure the fenders are set when rafting up.

Thanks for the reply, Todd! We just had 2 custom made, however, we may get a couple more from your source.

I will get some pictures up soon.

The salon and galley remodel is finally finished, the heads and staterooms are next, however they will have to wait...

The season is coming! The marlin are calling!

Thanks again! Safe boating!
