Nice ride you got there. Is that a 225 Honda on the back? Is so she's a runner. Did you by any chance put trim tabs on? If not I sujest you do so. It makes the ride that much more comfortable. Congrates on the new ride. You have a boat for life there.

State of the art, but how would you rate the welds?

Lots of room to nest a long fish cooler on a bracket between the motor and the transom wall after you lower the motor? How about attaching a polypro fillet board on the cooler lid?

Is the bilge ventilated to prevent gas fume accumulation?

They make those boats in the hometown I grew up. Parents live about 2 miles from where they are built I believe. There is a few aluminum boat companies in the same complex. All the builders down there make good boats, mainly commercial stuff. A guide I know has had like 7 boats built by Coldwater boats near Pacific Boats. I like the small Pacific's. They look like very well made boats. Sweet ride.

Good to have you back.
