There are no scuppers right now. Everything runs to the bilge. The boat seems to stay dry and I won't be leaving it in overnight unless I'm camping a few feet from it. Haven't had it in rough water though. Wondering if a t-top will make me happier. Bait tank was empty. My tank won't need to be filled to the rim most of the time. Shrimp don't need much water, but menhaden do when I go offshore. As far as trim tabs go, what's the word on the QL system. Anyone have any experience w/them? And thanks for the kind words. It was a great 1.5 hour trial run. I took this boat down (short of removing the bow rail)I did all that by myself? huh. Looking for a gallery to show progress and almost finished product.
