Hope Ya'll had a happy holiday! We did manage to have Christmas with the Kids and Grandkids but it's been a crazy busy 5 days!! Tuesday our 370 AC arrived about 10am and it took about 4hrs to get it re assembled, here are some pics and videos of that...

After assembly I loaded up antifreeze, tools, food/drink and sleeping bag. The marina crew shoved me out and directed me to the nearest fuel dock, which was closed. The next closest fuel was a 24/7 fuel dock with no dock hands! So, it was up to me... all by myself... a guy who has piloted a twin prop boat for about 10 minutes now... the hardest part was keeping my dam hands off the wheel!! Didn't take pics of docking or fueling... way too stressful, I wanted to be heading up lake a 1/2 hr ago.
Once under way and my destination set on the Garmin I was just going to make it to our dock before sunset maintaining 26-28mph. At this point I was able to relax some, have a sandwich, enjoy the boat and the scenery. Here are a few pics/videos of that...

Once arriving at our dock the stress level was up again... I had to park this baby! Well luckily the wind had laid down and I was able to back her in on the first try! Once tied off I was able to relax with a cold one (or two) and take some more pics...

Re-winterized the engines and all in all the boat is in good shape!
There are few things needing attention but I was expecting that...
