Took the boat out today for the first time, went out of MDR left the dock at 12:30 got back at the dock at 3:00 the boat works real well it really wants to get up and run but it was too choppy to open her up maybe next time I just wanted to make shore it ran today. I only took out one rod with me and a couple of mega bass jigs. I tried to find one of four deferent artificial reefs that are in front of Venice pier with no luck now I need a GPS / Fish finder / chart plotter. Water was dirty and no bait fish to be seen. All in all good day to know she floats.

Boat looks great.
Looks like theres a texture on your blue flooring.
Are you using a nonslip truck bedliner coating?
