Mike verified the lift top has been removed and stored for the winter. We
need to verify the electric winch motor has been removed and stored as
well.
New 2006 Ski Nautique 196 is at the dealer; dealer will store the boat
inside until we take delivery in April. New boat has white hull, dark
blue
primary stripe, yellow trim, dark blue bimini top, and one cupholder.
Who has the spare prop from the 2004 Nautique?
Best financing arrangement appears to be through Art's credit union (L&N
Federal). Art believes he can secure a 6.00% interest rate. Mike
requests Art to request that rate on a five-year note. Loan will be in Art's name;
Mike will work with legal counsel to secure a "collateral agreement" which
would be signed by all club members, to limit Art's financial exposure on
the loan. Mike to send Art the new boat's serial number. Art will
contact credit union in the next few days.
Lake is not ready for NIT tournament or wakeboarding, due to continued
erosion of shoreline (need much more rock).
Spring work day(s) will include:
1. Constructing and installing a simple "vee" at the front of the lift, to
keep the boat centered and keep it from making contact with the dock when
driving in. Steve can fabricate with boards (2"x 6") and carpeting
wrapped around and tacked;
2. Mike wants tie-up cleats on dock. Caution: toe stubbing hazard. May
need to re-think;
3. Lift cables may need lubrication or replacement;
4. Large tree in cove to remove. Beaver damage. Send Rob Wright in with
either chain saw that operates while fully submerged, or high explosives;
5. More rock on shoreline. Organize scouts to help?
6. Evaluate the condition of the lift bunk carpet. Replace if rotted or
worn through;
7. Install lift cover, and electric winch.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
