I've got pics on my blackberry, so I'll try to upload them. He changed the design of the front deck for structural reasons, and I can live with it... We put the boat on the water yesterday to check for leaks and got perfect results, didn't see any water at all after an hour of cruisin around. We took it to a lake right behind where I grew up, and my dad still lives there, so I had him come check it out. He took some video as we were goin along the bank, maybe he'll post it to youtube. Anyways, we threw some old ply on the supports just so we wouldn't be tripping anywhere, and I think that even without the sponsons on it, I could run around this thing without worry. Feels solid as a rock with two people on it, and with 3 on it, its like a barge. That sucker aint going nowhere. Now on to the next dilemma. I could send this thing to powdercoat next weekend, but the weather is finally cooperating and bedding may start next weekend. Looks like I may be fishing from a bare aluminum tin for at least a while...</p></blockquote><p></p>
