: Well, I know it feels good when a plan comes together, so you must be feeling
: great. Congrats on the new boat. Looking forward to checking out the trip
: "study" and final analysis of the alterations. Got any pics of

: see just how different they are, or if it is really noticable at all.
: Enjoy that new creation.

Sounds great Mike :)
I’m curious to hear how your dropped seat worked. I’m guessing the narrower beam canceled out the lowered seat position for added stability. Then again you have probably gained speed without many other tradeoffs. It’s Curious that the secondary stability wasn’t more pronounced. Can’t wait to find out how my own Walrus will react.
