Ok, I'm beat! I now have in my possession our new Skagit 20 Express.
I left my house at 0800 and met Karl and hooked up his trailer. I didn't get up to Big Lake near Sedro-Woolley until 1230! I met the seller at the boat ramp and proceeded to swap the boat around. I wanted to make sure the boat wouldn't take on water before I gave up the cash. It did great.
Last week when my son and I sealed the deal with the seller I asked him not to "clean" the boat as that's one of my favorite things to do on a fresh "find". He did as asked and I was pumped to see how it was going to turn out. Well Seattle traffic, all traffic for that matter, was hell.
I didn't get to my in-laws until 5 pm! Didn't matter as I got straight to work. I started with the "30 seconds" product in a pump spray bottle. I love that stuff! I also used a giant scrub brush and high- pressure water hose.
I'll post a couple of before shots tonight...then after tomorrow.
By the way, this boat wasn't a giant secret as it was listed on Craigslist for two days when I contacted the seller. The cool piece to all of it is the boat was in Skagit county, seemed fitting.

Karl I'd say you don't owe me a thing, you helped me out last time! I will take you up on the trailer though! My plan is to go up next Monday, does that fit with your schedule?

I owe you one.
I have an empty trailer that I can lend you for a month. I can bring it over and help you pick it up.
Karl
