[QUOTE="richg99, post: 254207, member: 4376"] I took her out this afternoon. Skeg worked great. For a while, I was confused because she was pushing me to the port side on every paddle. I found out that I had mis-placed the "tiller" off to one side. I corrected that and she tracked beautifully. Must have added some mojo, too. Caught over a dozen LM bass on the pond, including one over 3 lbs! Rare for this place, that is for sure. Tomorrow I will drop her into Galveston Bay and see what happens. She fits just fine inside of my Toyota Van which is a big deal for me. NO way did I want to push her up on top of the rack at 60 lbs!. She slid right into the back of the van and I was able to keep her upright so it will be an easy drop and load from here on out.....I hope!
