Thanks Jon!
I can't say she looks as shiny as the picture above right now after the fall grung and grime but she certainly will in the spring.
and yes extended lake crossings to visit Putneyville will be much more comfortable.

Wild Thing is sold and I sure am having sellers remorse. She has been such a great boat...but... life must go on!
The buyer will be moving her to New Brunswick.

That was quick.

That was the first F235 I sailed on. Also means I will now have to make the trip to my boat to measure stuff.

Hope the CS 36 works out...
