Finally going fishing!



I can't believe its this late in the year for our first trip!  We started our maintenance work early, but my son's swim meets and unexpected failure of the power trim pump set us back a month.  We re-carpeted the upper sundeck this year which was a decent-sized project.  the carpeting and its adhesive provides the weather protection for the plywood decking; that made it a must-do project! 

We went with a light grey carpet with a ribbed profile to reduce the heat buildup and provide better footing for folks topside.  We store our kayak up there as well, so secure footing is vital!

The upper sundeck is 16 feet long and 8.5 feet wide.  Older kids (and some adults) love to jump into the water from there, so it gets a lot of use!

Next time we will have some fishing news and a few pix of the barge in action!  Happy Mother's Day - don't forget to check out and subscribe to my page at Examiner!
