It's in the mid-90's here, and hell, the water temp in the Bay is in the
80's. Add a few potatoes and carrots, and you could have "Wet Foot Soup.
You do realize that there are certain people, like me for instance,
who are saving all these transom posts for the inevitable day when you
post something negative about low transoms.
You just know it's going to happen. :)
Oh, but I have already. If you are an inexperienced boater, or a boater
whose "experience" consists only of piddling around on little lakes, then
you have no business heading out into "big" waters without encasing your
boat and yourself in foam, and that boat better have gunnels six feet
tall.
Hey, I see Ranger bass boats (not Ranger bay boats) out on Chesapeake Bay
and when I lived in Florida, out in the Atlantic Ocean. Those guys I
worry about.
My new boat is so small, I'm really concerned.
