After splashing in San Diego, we made our way up to San Pedro to tackle the heart of our maintenance list. The crew has been working around the clock to ensure the Independence is in peak condition for our return to the water in just one month.

What’s happening on deck: We’ve chiseled the upper deck down to bare aluminum and are currently prepping for a brand-new surface deck.

The Rails: We sanded the mahogany rails back to the original wood and are currently building up layers of clear coat for that mirror finish.

Behind the scenes: Work continues in the engine room and throughout the boat to ensure everything is mechanically dialed. There is a lot of work left to do, but we’re on schedule and excited to show off the results!

Also we will be at the Pacific Coast Sportfishing Show this weekend. Come on by and say hi!!
