I worked with someone that @Bifmalibu tipped me off about earlier in this thread (thanks Bif!). Bonus, it was about 5 minutes drive from me. No, haven't been out on the water yet with either the top or the canvas. Top was completed just before Christmas, and then Christmas happened. And this month was the canvas - literally picked it up about an hour before I posted this. I'm hoping to get out later in Feb - need to do some rigging on the top - move the VHF antenna up there, 360 light - that kind of stuff. I expect I might feel a little bit more roll with more weight up high, but its aluminum so I don't think it'll make that much of a difference. Canvas might catch the wind a bit more - I guess we'll see!

We all like boats... We all like YOUR boat! Here’s a thread to keep us up to date with what you did to it.

Upgrades?
Wash it?
Fish out of it?
Sell it and buy a bigger one?

Let’s hear it.

Hi there, I have a Campion 542, just added second Lowrance unit so I don’t have to strain my eyes looking at split screen on 1st unit, last yr replaced seats that were original to boat and showing their age. I clean and wax every spring and wash down after every trip out. It’s a good boat for my wife and I to fish out of, 3 people is comfortable 4 is doable but crowded, thinking of upgrading to a bigger boat still looking to see what will work without being more then I need.

Keep us posted . Definitely a nice upgrade on the arima and something I might venture towards in the future . Unless I win the lotto and can afford a bigger boat lol

Nice! What year is the campion?
 
Ain’t no Sharrow but looking forward to getting her wet and seeing if I can get another 100 miles of range and a higher top end. Wish I didn’t have to winterize the boat, be nice to do a comparison test it with the water I just had to pump out into the driveway, still in it. Probably have to find lots of ways to loose weight to get close to the target performance but a man can dream.

Added a new cotter pin after the pic was taken.

I’ll tell you what I’m NOT doing to my boat tomorrow… taking it on the highway to get bottom painted. :’(

The Pay Bay Highway has two lanes in the snow. Your pick of 28kph or 147kph
