[QUOTE="HahnZooKeeper, post: 289179, member: 6693"] Thanks Gator. It's been alot of work mixed with patience and learning, but totally worth it. We're still not all the way done, but we did get the chance to take her out this past Sunday. My buddy "Cheesehead" and I each took our boats out, and let me just say this, "We should have just stayed home!" Thankfully everything turned out fine, but the wind was terrible. At least I got the "Worst case scenario" right out of the gate! Once we got away from the landing (almost 45 min.!) the boat performed awesome! It is so much more stable even in that wind and the almost 2ft waves. Needless to say, I was very happy with that. Then it came to getting back on the trailers. OH BOY!!! That was an even bigger struggle followed by a soaking. Lesson learned! We will NOT be doing that again! Oh yeah, and not even a fish in the boats. [/QUOTE]
