Thank you everyone for the compliments on the pics and the movie. Now that my kids showed me how to work Windows Movie Maker I'll be using it more often. It's great to be able to string together the 15 second movie clips that I can take with my digital camera.
Shawsee,
I lauched from Taylor Point, in Bourne. Good ramp and facilities for $10. I'm not familiar with Maco's, is it the place just across the bridge? Any closer to getting the brakes yet? And yep, the Rev. got ahold of me and said if I didn't get all PC and declare myself a Ho free zone he was gonna shake me down. Plus it looks like my name was already taken...

I'm really happy with the boat. It's not too big or heavy, my 1/2 ton Suburban pulls it just fine. The cabin is actually big enough to be useful and there is still a good size cockpit left over. The enclosed head is more trouble than it's worth for guys but it does solve the biggest problem once you bring a girl aboard. Performance is good enough for me with the 220HP motor but since it is 21 years old (and requires 93 octane gas) I'm keeping my eyes open for a good used repower. I'd like to stick with a Yamaha, probably a 225 or 250 but 300HP would be fun, any recommendation on years or models to look for?
One gripe I have is that there is no anchor or rope storage in the bow. I can probably make a pulpit but I'm looking for ideas on rode storage.
