Been on the road the last few weeks a lot, hard on the family but nice to have a job these days too, now thinking about projects for 2010. First up:

a. Annual service on the Yamahas, generator, etc.
b. Adding some LED's on the transom, so I can brighten up the water off my stern at night
c. Two coats of wax on everything, above rub rail and below; usually Shurhold / Propolish above and Woody Wax on non-skid surfaces and Aurora VS on hull and below water surfaces

What's on your list to do these next few months?

Couple of weeks ago we had a good weather, so i told my marina to get the boat out of the storage building and i manage to do a hull cleanning and two coats of polish/wax. Next time around is the interior and pipe work.

I was also thinking about underwater lights and was ready to pull the triger, but i really don't know what to get. so i think i'll wait for another season. I had good luck with those home made ones on another boat for two years, but i sold the boat and she is in England now and don't know how they are holding up. I heard people had problems with them, i have one in my pond but is fresh water, maybe salt water after couple of years they ruin them? i don't know.

This is the place i had bought mine http://www.coastalnightlights.com/

don't forget the fuel/water separator filter. Just changed mine Saturday and there was no water in the gas. :D

I'm with NEM on this one.I am also having a hard time deciding on which underwater light to use.Looked very hard at ocean led amphibians and also coastal night lights.At this point i think i'll wait,however i'm doing the lights under the gunnels and a few other minor things.
