For your consideration ... it's recommended that the anchor chain be at
least
the length of the boat in length ... acts as a shock absorber. And I really
like my fish finder vs a depth sounder with depth/thermometer/speed (I don't
really need GPS where I boat) ... it's interesting watching the bottom roll
by, drop
off etc.

4. No anchor chain. I added 6 feet of galvanized chain rode today. We
will be anchoring this boat only in the shallows while swimming.
5. No depth sounder. Ordered one on line last night and will receive it
Monday.

I am very happy with this boat and our decision to purchase it this late
in the season.

And that's the main thing. I'm sure some people get a good laugh out of our
old beater, but we have come to really like it. We had an absolutely great
day in the 1000 Islands last week, and an absolutely great day up at White
Lake yesterday.
