I just got tired of seeing Gilly slam the BM's in the harbor by the ferry and since I have already bought 1 new boat this year figured Anything was better than nothing. It will be fine for close to port missions. Appletree, Miller bay, E..... harbor ect....... Thank you for all the posts. We used to launch a 10 foot livingston off the beach at No Point all the time. Caught alot of nice fish and drank alot of Rainer.-T
