    Here's the boat the day I bought it. Since then, I carpeted the floor and seats. Picture all the weight in the back ie 3 commercial batteries right along the transom, only thing up by the bow was the tackle bag and cooler. I agree with Dixon, I really should have gone in before the last drift but you know how it is, pick up another couple before it starts raining, etc...

    I was out the day before on saturday and it got windy with rain. I watched the lake patrol boat struggle to get around the lake at it was trying to warn boaters to be careful, the only boats I saw out there still was myself and one pontoon boat. As far as bilge pumps go, a sportboat captain once joked to me that "nothing bails out a sinking boat faster than three scared men with five gallon buckets".
