[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 210778, member: 3833"] We went out for a little ride yesterday evening. It was like a totally different boat. It was very comfortable to drive and easy to move around in. I ran it standing up with my extension handle also. That was pretty comfortable as well. I don't have my GPS and depth finder hooked up yet, so I didn't check the speed. I don't think I lost any since replacing the 3/4 ply with 1/8 aluminum and adding a battery. I've also raised the motor up about 1 to 1-1/2". The cav plate is still slightly below the bottom of the boat, but it's about as high as I can go without adding a bracket of some kind. Hopefully I'll get my electronics running by this weekend and get some better pics and a report. I've got a 25qt marine cooler that fits snugly under the rear deck. I'm planning to plumb it for a live well. I'm not sure it will keep a limit of bass alive, but I think it will be fine for night tournaments or just fishing. It should also work well for minnows or live shrimp. [/QUOTE]
