Well, the big day has arrived to take the boat down to Lake Whatcom for the test float
We first got the boat across the street.

Then partway down the the hill and found out that the lights didn't work

So we turned the trailer around and took it back home, and then went to wal mart 15 minutes later to find a replacement light kit.
The next morning Dad and I replaced the lights on the trailer.

Next we had to get the engine out and hook it onto the back and attach the lines and fenders
