Ha!! You must not be in the South!! Running out of ice down here is on the same level of "suck" as running out of fuel, running aground, burned up impeller, pooped autopilot, etc, etc.
Can't tell you how many times my trip plans have changed in order to seek ICE.
My boat is too small for such a machine. If I could install one, I would.

"With an ice maker like that, I'd say you're ready for a complimentary TF fridge inspection. Inspector FlyWright standing by for duty, sir."
Al, down here in the South that fine ice is used to keep shrimp and oysters nice and cold, and maybe just a little bit for some cold brews
Cajun Rose is looking good!

Paul - TY for photos on the hard.
9 yrs. since last haul ... and... unless I'm missing things she looks pretty good.
Couple of appendages coming out of bottom that I'm not sure what for or condition of.
The encrusted one a water intake? The straight tube a below water exit??
Best luck doing her bottom!

Looks terrific, especially for nine years without hauling. Sure do like those protected wheels and rudders. What does she draw, overall?
Keep those photos coming, Paul!

One picture is a cork that was put in by the previous owner after the fire and the other picture is a worm eaten piece of wood the po had installed to level out the transducer
Thanks for descriptions.
So... Paul, you're up close n' personal with her bottom now. What do you think?
