Thanks! It was certainly exciting buying our first boat. We might have been a little over eager buying it basically sight unseen. Hopefully the repairs don't take all summer
Congratulations on the purchase! Enjoy her to the fullest! How do you like her so far? Do you find it much roomier with the pop -up? What is the headroom inside when the pop-up is attached? Thank you!
I notice lots of times you say it's my boat or my boat, this is what I'm doing to my boat. You're married. Everything is supposed to be shared. Pretend the roles are reversed. Say, this is our boat and we are doing this to our boat. She should be in charge of making some decisions. She should have goals for the boat too. Ask her what she feels needs done to the boat. Make the project more of a way to get closer. Take small breaks and give her hugs and kisses. Buy her some flowers for the boat. Look into getting this for the interior so she is more cozy That doesn't mean buy her cookware or vaccum Maybe buy a reading light, comfort memory foam, make a storage area for her, maybe buy a television and digital antena .... Get her what she wants such as maybe a special beach blanket or spend the night at a hotel every so often or take her out to eat or explore. Make it all part of the show.
