Thanks alot, I'm real excited to get it out there. My old hull was an old narrow fiberglass hull that you had to watch what you did closely. The top of the transom was about 5" out of the water at rest. I believe I'll enjoy this one much better. What do you think, will I need a trim tab for it? I have a 472 caddy with 3 jacks on the rigging, 3 seater front steer. The old hull had a tab on it but it was 12ft. and narrow.
