You want to sell it back to me, let me know.


Another deal done in the backwoods of Maine..........??
I'd only move up a step if the wife suddenly became interested in boating.

Finest kind. :)

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......

Cut into the waves? Most sailboats are daysailors, flatbottom planing
hulls. The 25+MPH scows are a prime example. Scows simply don't cut
waves, they just try to mash them.

Nah - you aren't going to hit that hard. 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.
