New Addition


Yesterday was an exciting day, the annual Fisheries Supply warehouse sale and swap meet.  This was the first year I have attended the event as a boat owner.  I once worked at Fisheries Supply for almost five years twenty years ago.  It has been a long time coming.  I went down there with a shopping list in hand and brought home an awesome tender for Blizzard.  Thanks to the Dinkins family!






I was not certain of the condition of the Zodiac. Once home we inflated it and it is absolutely perfect. Emily enjoyed trying out the seats.  This piece of equipment will make the summer a lot of fun and safe.  The Zodiac is 12' and the floor is inflatable so it will be comfortable with no pinch points or heavy boards.  Built in 2004 there is a lot of life left in it.  The seams are heavy duty, the transom bond and tie in is perfect, and no leaks.  We just need a pump with a pressure gage. When deflated I can lift the whole boat and it can fit tight under the cockpit.  I filled it with a shop vac and added some more pressure to the floor.

The warehouse sale was great as well.
