New VHF Radio and Helm Remote
New Stereo (gotta have some music)
New Water Heater (watch those amps)
New Air Conditioner (shouldn't need to use it before at least late January! )
New Cutlass Bearing (less engine vibration)
New Water Filter System (3 stage)
New Water Fill system (single stage)
New Tank fill caps
New Engine Control panel cover

Hey Paul. I don't see any Zinc's on that list. Don't forget that heat exchanger zinc.

Paul,

I like the comment regarding the AC unit - Not needing it till at least late January ! Oh Boy....That just sent the chills of what most of us are expecting coming to us in late January...but maybe this year, we will luck out !

How is the bottom on that boat ? Any blisters or a clean bill of health ?

We left our home port Wed. 12/23/15, got back yesterday. Cruised up the west coast to Caladesi Island. Spent every night in a marina, and had the A/C on every single time............

I think I change this thing about as often as I check the oil.......
Mine just don't hold up........

Spent our last night in Gulfport Municipal Marina, our previously owned C25 was docked just across the street. Seems strange to look at a boat you owned for ten years and it's not yours anymore.

My manual says to change the heat exchanger zinc monthly. However, get around 3 months life out of it. Something that works well for me, I set a reminder on my phones calendar. Every 3 months the phone reminds me to change the zinc. Getting old is tough.

Zincs, yep! (like the idea of the phone alarm!)
We had new zinc on the shaft in May (it's pretty big and diver reported it looks fine just a few weeks ago)

Heat Exchanger Zinc! When I found it, it was missing! So now I have a nice new shiny zinc in the HX and 3 spares! Easy to change now that I know where it is.

And then I added a New Garmin 300 AIS receiver last week, Cooooool!

Taking the boat out for New Years Day/Night if weather holds... Northerly looking down on here on the Florida East Coast.

Paul:

No outboard -- a win! No center board: a win: Standing head room: a win! So, what's the deal!?!?!? (smile)
