If you own a boat you know there is alway something that needs to be done, it's called a boat.
Things are measured in "boat units"... How many "boat units" is that going to cost?? FYI - Rule of thumb, a boat unit is about $1000. - Break Out Another Thousand, it's a b.o.a.t.!!
After purchasing Perfect Agenda, there were several areas that needed work:
- The electronics needed upgrading
- Many leaks and subsequent repairs
- All the teak needed to refinished
- Canvas and cushions need repairing or replacing
- Gelcoat and window seals
- Davit system..... (Sea Wise)
- Generator install...
- It's a boat.....
Since August of 2019, Val and I have been doing a lot of work on all these areas and more. We will try a put as many "before and after" pictures as possible (if we remember). Currently I have been dumping pictures in the Photo Gallery and hopefully over time do some more detail explanations.
Here is an example of the "before and after" around the electronics. Over the winter Val and I updated all the electronics to Garmin. Here are the before and after pictures:
Before: See all the space taken and used on the counter
After: All electronics combined into one MFD (multi-function display)
We we able to regain almost all of the lower helm counter space. We hope to more of these "Before and After" pictures.

We found our boat, a Monk 36, browsing on YachtWorld online in June 2019. Here is the first picture I saw of her:
She was at F.L. Tripp and Sons marina in Westport Point MA. about an hour away from home. Her previous name was Lucy (named after a grandmother of the previous owner) and had been on the hard for about two years and she needed a little TLC. The folks at F.L. Tripp and previous owners John and Day Guest were great to work and collaborate with. Val and I finally owned her by August 2019.
Here is her transition to the Perfect Agenda:
There are lots of pictures in the Photo Gallery.
