You should look at re-doing your floor and hull aswell, when they where made they only fibre glassed the top half of the floor so with the age of these boats they rot, i was just told today that 1 of his mates with a searunner cracked his hull from the screen down, he had the walk thru screen like yours ?? Something to keep in mindOriginally Posted by stevogq
Yeah I got walkthrough, my floor was refiberglassed but I don like when people sit in the back it bottems out tooo much and looks like its doing a mono and when I speedup on the plain they say "too fast slow down"
cheers stevo.

While driving KEEP ALL YOUR WEIGHT AT THE FRONT these boats dont like weight in the rear and keep the motor trimmed at about a quarter more or less depending on the swell, the shape of there hull makes them dig in sideways and you get wet ALOT lol

With you there mate. Just being in the boat, on the bank or beach with a line in the water is pretty hard to beat, any fish that come along are a bonus.
