[QUOTE="Jay415, post: 248617, member: 6905"] I was able to get out yesterday and for a place that looks like bass heaven, I didn't get one bite! Water still a little cold around 42°, but I figured they would be starting to come shallow and feed. I think it's gonna take a few more degrees of warmth for the spring time fun! It was a beautiful place to fish though! Now for the boat, after mods, full gear and 2 adults I only got 13mph out of the motor and it's not planing out. I was thinking of putting hydrofoil fins on the motor to get the most I can out of it. Stability is awesome! I am very happy with the build! I did however realize some things I want to change. The hatch covers open outward. I flipped them around and I like them better that way. Also the pedal for the bow TM was too close to the seat making it difficult to stand because the seat would press into the back of my leg that was taking all my weight. It was throwing my balance off. I moved it forward and to the right a little and its more comfortable. No fish yet but here's a few pics of the place I fished. These trees are in 6-18 FOW. But no bass to be found around them! I think I flipped a jig at every tree! Still enjoyed getting out though!
