Haha...he was already starting to build the next one when I picked mine up. I think he said the next two were the same boat builds for him.

Not yet but I bought the plastic slide kit this week just ran out of time. It hasn’t seen the salt yet so I’m not too concerned until I’m back out to put them on. I also need to get in touch with Tuff Trailer and find out what their bunks are made as well.

When are you coming back to put it in the water? I’m sure your going to be staring at pictures and dreaming of getting it wet![/QUOTE]
Yep I see some sleepless nights in my future staring at boat ****! Lol. It’s a bit up in the air at the moment with my kids sports...hockey...soccer and lacrosse tournaments steady until schools out. I might just have to phone in sick to make it work anytime soon!

I definitely don’t mind answering questions! The throttle for the kicker is where you said on the starboard side. There is also a rear steering wheel mounted on the same side next to the fish box. When your on the boat it doesn’t seem all that strange....imo anyways. I went back and forth in where to mount the throttle but it was going to be in the way plain and simple. I also don’t use the throttle much on the kicker where I fish other than bumping it up or down when I turn to make a tack. The other consideration for me was that I didn’t want anything else to snag the net as I usually fish solo each morning in the summer. Again it doesn’t feel as weird as it may seem honest! Lol

Hey Slim, how did he know where to mark the waterline exactly with your particular setup.. Twins, kicker, gear, average fuel load ect.. all those are factors that will change what angle/depth the boat will sit at.
