I'm ready, come on up!
Boat was in for the first voyage of spring yesterday. Wanted to make sure I didn't have any leakiness with the new ballast system I was working on so far this spring. I don't know that it will acutally work, because my switches didn't come yet. But, it doesn't leak at all, so that's a bonus.
Come on up, save yourself some work!

'95 sunsetter direct drive with about 3 feet of non-sack space on the floor and a fly high pole. It worked pretty well with about 1000lbs in the back and another 400 in the nose, but even without ballast or wedge this thing has it beat!

I'm loving it!

Hello all! New to the site, as I just found it today.

I'm on the Fox River, and looking for people to ride with. Live right on the river(have a boat with a lift), just south of the Chain.

Anyone here near me?

rjhall,

Does your boat have a white hull with blue and orange stripes (I think) than swoop down toward the rear of the boat? If so I think I saw you out about a month or so ago. I was in the white Supra up by the bridge. If that was you, we waved at each other when you went by.
