What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

I am in the process of moving from an aluminum pilothouse fishing machine to a more comfortable slow cruiser. Camano troll 31. I need to do everything I can to make it fishable. Advice is welcome. Today I added teak rail toppers to the stainless cockpit rails for the downriggers.

Really pretty boat, the only advice you’ll receive here though is to pod it lol

I'm pretty sure all stripers are fibercore

Is it porous material or solid?
 
Pulled the boat out Sunday fixed a steering and a trim leak.
Auto pilot wasn’t working, just needed a hard reset… they call it a reset but it was hard so ya got that figured out
Checked over radios, bilges, fire extinguishers, flares etc
And now getting the gear set up for king crab and prawning in kitimat for a couple weeks before the final polish for the season got some nyalic (similar to shark skin) to try on it to see if I can get it to sparkle a little longer this year!
I am pumped to start the season to say the least!
 
Not really on the boat but for the boat.

Built a new charge box, did a trial box last summer out of plywood and liked the results so went all in with a new build. Used 1/2” HDPE sheeting. All stainless scews, two UV lights ran off USB connection.
