[QUOTE="gah319, post: 355172, member: 13154"] Got out on the water Sunday. Only had about 2 hours that I could go, but I did get out and float. Still need to put hinges on a couple of the hatches. Little more front heavy that I care for. Used 3/4" ply for the front deck and 1/2" for the rest. Then there are two batteries up there also. Will move the batteries to the back bench storage area. There is enough room there for both of them. This will also help get me on a even keel when I am the only one in the boat, which might be most of the time. Otherwise when running up river the wife will be on the other bench seat. When we start fishing one of us will use the center seat on the front deck. All the holes plugged well. No water in the boat at all. Launching was no problem at all. The boat just slid right off the trailer. Getting back on was a bit of a problem. Electric motor only lake so could not drive onto the trailer. As I would get it on the trailer the boat wanted to keep sliding back off. The Wetlander paint on the bottom is very slick. Will get the batteries moved tonight and hope to get on the river in the next day or two depending on the weather. Want to see just how fast it will go. [/QUOTE]
