: Well, I know it feels good when a plan comes together, so you must be feeling
: great. Congrats on the new boat. Looking forward to checking out the trip
: "study" and final analysis of the alterations. Got any pics of

: see just how different they are, or if it is really noticable at all.
: Enjoy that new creation.

Sounds great Mike :)
I�m curious to hear how your dropped seat worked. I�m guessing the narrower beam canceled out the lowered seat position for added stability. Then again you have probably gained speed without many other tradeoffs. It�s Curious that the secondary stability wasn�t more pronounced. Can�t wait to find out how my own Walrus will react.
