[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 321817, member: 9587"] I flew over Lake Superior recently and you could see how bad the zebra mussels are from 30,000'... They are pretty nasty buggers. We have a few invasive species up here, which is why the use of live wells or live bait is banned in freshwater. They actually found a snakehead fish in a pond in the city recently, and they had to drain it to get it out. Those things are top of the food chain and would be pretty dangerous to native stocks. People that introduce these species whether knowingly or unknowingly need to get a clue!! Thanks for the kind words. It's pretty comfortable to fish in and works great with 2 people fishing. I did a bit more investigating and the seats themselves also flex a bunch. I think I need to raise the seats a bit, as well as stiffen the seats up a bit. I might return them for something better if I can't make something work. Today I started the final step in the paint job. I primed all of the exposed metal with etching primer and metal primer, and then I wet sanded the yellow to prep for the final coat. Tomorrow I will lay down some paint. I want to take the boat out this weekend, but I might just hop in my buddy's boat so the paint will have enough time to cure and dry. I would like to do 2 more coats ideally. [/QUOTE]
