Yea, I will have to say that the more I look at the boat and mess around in it I feel that it will be in the family for a while. I use to buy and sell Bass Boats like trading Baseball Cards. I wonder what kind of distance I should be able to go out with this thing for Kings and such. I guess that at 3.5 mpg I could go around 40 miles out and back with trolling. The seas will have to be really good to attempt this, but I will definatly try.
* I did notice that there was water coming in the self bailing holes at the rear deck when I was sitting still. I guess that the ball was not floating up and closing off the hole like designed???? Also- - - - can I drill a 1/4" hole at the base of each Rod Holder on the Center Consol to allow for draining? They were full of water when I picked the boat up and since it rained all day yesterday and today I'm sure that they are back to full pool

???? Thanks, JB
