Weekender Sails Up first time Sails Up!, Jan. 16, 2011
Well we got the sails up the for the first time but the main sail needs some adjusting on the mast side.

Weekender Registration Inspection - Florida Fish & Game Law Enforcement Boat Inspection, March 1, 2011

Weekender Registration Papers Registration Papers, March 1, 2011
There are only two forms required. Both are a statement of the build, material sources etc. One is filled out by the builder and the other is filled out by the Florida Fish & Game law enforcement officer. Take both to DMV and pay the fees. Voila, boat title and registration; one stop shopping. 		Weekender Registration Numbers Registration Numbers, March 1, 2011
You only get one renewal sticker but the numbers go on both sides. They used to issue a pretty state seal but now it's just a green tag the says "expires on ..." The small sticker in the middle is identical to the ones on my cars. The green vinyl field is just a place to stick it.

My under the hull motor mount was troublesome so I built the motor into a plywood hull covered with and filled with epoxy resin. It's a little crude but works!
