Bill,
im sure it will get back on track, a lot of guys talk about running in the ocean with little boats and I say that affectionately, but to take a 21 and go from inlet to inlet , would have to be a dead calm day, and even than if the average speed was more than 50 mph Id be supprised, it dosent make sense to take that type of boat there, dont get me wrong there where times may moons ago we would hit the inlet,

but inevitablely something would break

,after a couple of times and a lot of money I learned that the inside was were I belonged with a 21

, so I say to the young bucks go break your stuff its good for the economy, its keeps the local shops busy

I think you are pretty much high winds and on/off rain all next week. High winds mostly.

Was playing with some footage from my GOPRO that I took a few weeks ago during some testing
Would like to see this view of the E-Tec case to see whats left

so getting back to the gear case I put Bills video side by side with the Tuff video, what I see is the heights at Bills Max and mine are pretty similar, the main difference I see is trim, I dont need a lot of trim because the boat has so much natural bow lift, hence weight in the nose is a must, right now I have 125lbs in the bow and it seems to like it, Im hopeing with less set back I will be able to lessen the weight, but I havent found that chapter yet in the "HOW TO SET UP A TUFF WITH A BRP"
