- 1985 President Sundeck 41
Greetings all and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!
We are Helena, MT residents but are now making the commute as often as we can to La Conner, WA to what constitutes as pretty much every item on our Bucket List in one package.
We'd like to introduce you to the Otter.
She's a 1985 41' President Sundeck with twin Perkins 6.3544M (Naturally Aspirated).
This was one of the most scariest moments in my life seeing all 20 tons of her hanging in the air like this.
After spending a good month on the hard getting some needed maintenance done as well as fresh bottom paint and tuned props, I managed to get her over to her new slip and was able to back into it on the first try.
Gotta love the covered moorage. The Otter had been sitting outside for most if not all of her previous life.
Here's my first project. (Well, it turned out to be way later than the first, but I did finally get to it)
Steps and Dock Box Combo.
I added the railing a week after building the box since I would be the one that would come flying out without even thinking and go straight off and into the drink.:lol:
And look at this!
Santa Clause even came aboard the Otter this Christmas!
It was a rather special Holiday for my wife and I and Sadie to say the least.
The 13 hour drive over in the snow for 99% of trip was less than fun, but it was well worth it overall.
