Launch Day 2022! Wait, What just happened? Episode 22

Episode 22 - Filmed April 23, 2022 It's finally launch day! The marina called me unexpectedly on Friday, April 22 and put the boat in the water. That meant Mary and I needed to scramble to get some transportation and a crew together for the big, long-awaited day. Thankfully, we got some great help for our 14 mile journey from Great Oak Landing to our home marina Stansbury Yacht Basin. And it turns out we would really need it! Eternity's Shore II is a 2004 Chris Craft 33 Express Cruiser. She weighs 12,000 lbs., has a LOA of 34 feet, and a beam of 12 feet. She is equipped with twin Volvo Penta 5.7L Gi engines, each with 300HP.
