I have created my to-do list - some of this can be completed during the winter, others must wait until Spring and later. Here is what I have so far (in no particular order but items that I feel must be done prior to launching in the spring are in blue font - those completed in a green font):
Purchase marine battery
Name Boat - "Hattie L"
Purchase boat hook
Pickup renovated outboard motor
Purchase gas tank & fuel line
Install shelves rather than hanger in locker
Dye or replace V-Berth covers
Repair one dinette cushion with open seams
Replace weather stripping on hatches and cockpit access
Standing rigging replacement - ordered
Contact Merrill Sproul - ABC Course (needed to become a member of local Sail and Power Squadron - now need to take the class and exam on 4/18/2009))
Get trailer weighed (currently licensed at 6,000 pounds empty, can't be true!)
Get trailer brakes serviced
Purchase new Porta-Potti
Create mounting for porta-potti
Replace cabin lights with LEDs
Get compass (either bulkhead or pedestal
Anchor chain
Inside/outside carpet for cabin sole with non-skid rug underlayment
Refinish interior woodwork (brightwork) - pulled and in house for winter project
Refinish exterior wood (brightwork)
Shore power - need power line, connection, battery charger, timer (so regulate charging) and inverter as well as wiring and outlets, etc.
Purchase GPS
Get Seneca Lake Charts
Patch little holes on deck and in cabin
Rebed deck hardware
Purchase handheld marine VHF radio
We have a slip at the Village Marina in Watkins Glen - Slip 411
Purchase PFDs - 2 Adult type III and I throwable Type IV
Consider drawer under sink
Insulate icebox
Bed battery box stand
Move centerboard mechanism back to cabin from cockpit
This is definitely an ambitious list, but I have lots of time - sailability is first concern, then the livability items and finally cosmetic items.
