[QUOTE="Dman23, post: 257278, member: 8226"] Great news!!! Got my baby out today for the first time and i am 100% happy. Tooh her down to the bay just about 1/4 of a mile in from lake superior. Bay had a pretty good chop on it with a wind coming right off the lake so it was a great test. Motor started up in about 8 pulls. Whew! First time its been ran since august. Floor is solid and stable as can be in this size boat. Pedestals are also solid and the perfect height. Into the wind by myself i can probably only go half speed without a person in the front same as before. But with the wind i was able to open her up. Hit 28.4 mph by myself. Same as before. Absolutely love it!!!! I will say i wouldnt want to be any higher. Floor height in this boat turned out great. I am suprised so many people put decks on this size boat. To me your already so close to the water it would just be overkill and reduce stability. Anyways, couldnt be happier! [/QUOTE]
