You want to sell it back to me, let me know. Another deal done in the backwoods of Maine..........?? Finest kind. :) I'd only move up a step if the wife suddenly became interested in boating. 10-4. You'll get used to how it handles pretty quickly. One thing you might want to consider is a manual hyrdaulic trim/tilt device. I'll see if I can find the link to the one I was looking at when I owned the boat. That would help you a lot in those snarky situations. It wasn't that expensive and pretty easy to install. |

Sounds good. BTW Should I be worried about denting the bottom or pounding rivets out by banging over medium size waves at a good clip? I imagine the boat must be engineered to absorb most of the abuse. In sailing we just cut into the waves...... |

Scows simply don't cut waves, they just try to mash them. Casady |

The boat is built very similar to the way Lund does it - rivets, epoxy sealer at the seams. You'd have to hit pretty hard to loosen one of those rivets. |

Whoo hooo! Can't wait to get out again. I may have to install a seatbelt on that cushy seat though. |
