[QUOTE="thill, post: 505586, member: 4972"] Back home to reality. Was a great trip. Learned a few lessons... [LIST=1] [*]The tank only holds 10 gallons, but the boat runs around all day on 4-6. No need to bring gas unless pulling a skier or something. [*]The rub-rail nav lights are the only way to go. No more light in the way. [*]Carpet is a pain in sandy areas. Bring a carpet vacuum with you on a trip! [*]I love the fish box. Flip fish directly into the box and close the lid until it calms down. [*]I need a better drain system for the fish box. Maybe a hose stuffed in the drain before pulling the plug? [*]The 19P prop works great with 2 people, but not with 4. Need a 17P for that. [*]I LOVE the spot-lock on my nephew's Minn Kota. I might need to upgrade mine, now. [*]This boat handles chop well head-on. At a strong angle, the boat feels very tippy. [*]This boat floats easily in 1' or less of water. We did that a LOT in the place we were, and never touched. [*]I am really glad I swapped trailers. This trailer is more highway stable. And the old trailer fits the Princecraft surprisingly well. [*]We all LOVED the windshield and the flip-up wind guard. It was cold in the mornings. [*]We really liked having two dashboards to put stuff on while fishing. Really convenient [*]The windshield makes mounting a fishfinder troublesome, so I sat it on the dash and it worked great. [*]Fishing-maniac kids bring WAY too much stuff on the boat. Took up most of the floor once they spread out their gear. [*]Having a long-handled net is excellent. I made my own, and others ask me where I bought it. [/LIST] Overall, I'm very happy with this boat. Can't wait to take it out again. [/QUOTE]
