I'm not in the water yet but the marina looks like to only at about 30% right now anyway. We've had a cold wet spring and I think folks are taking their time.

I've added a few upgrades to the Yukon Delta. I added a bow roller for the Delta anchor and I have two fortress anchors with Ankoroline line on the upper deck. I have them midway so that they can be used forward or aft. The Porta-bote is my dinghy to help retrieve or deploy anchors if need be.
The davits double as a spot for the hammock when not lowering the dinghy.
I got a deal on a second bimini and put that over the front deck.

Once I finish wiring in the airhorn I should be good to go. I need a test drive first on a suitable lake before I bring it to the new slip at the marina on the mighty Mississippi. I have yet to try out this boat since I bought it late last fall. It's going to be a river rat.

Needless to say I'm counting the days.

Your pictures are very good. I didn't know they made trailers big enough for houseboats. And I like the ramp and steps idea. Hope your countdown to launch is short!

I'm  not  sure  if  this  is  going  to  work  or  not  .  I  am  having  a  difficult  time  typing  this  message  .  I  have  been  looking  at  the  great  pictures  of  your  Yukon  Delta  .  I  bought  a  1978  Yukon  several  years  ago  and  am  in  the  process  of  fixing  it  up  .   gutted the  interior  and  put  in  a  new  fiber  glass  floor  this  past  fall  .
