[QUOTE="X53Gunner, post: 192554, member: 1442"] Well took her out for a test spin today before carpeting, wiring etc. I was very surprised by how it sat and performed in the water. I do believe it is more stable then prior to the decking. I think the weight sets it in the water further and therefore there is a wider part pushing against the water. I'm running a new Yamaha 20HP 4 stroke and before the decking it ran with two large guys at 28 miles an hour with all our gear. Today with all the 3/4 decking, rod lockers and two large guys it ran right at 24 to 25 miles an hour and jumps on plan like it doesn't even know the decking was added. I'm very impressed, we both stood on front and back deck and moved around quit a bit and nothing made either of us feel like we were going to fall in. My friend even rode right up on the high seat on the front casting deck the entire trip with no problems (even in an emergency turn away from hidden ice...LOL). Should be getting more done on it tomorrow if there is anything worth taking pictures I will do that and post them. Take care! Scott [/QUOTE]
