Like Kurt Maurer says: "Wheeee!"

Josh and I splashed the SLT today on my local Lake Bistineau, temp 58, light wind, partly cloudy, in other words beautiful day!

A little tippy at first, it grows on you real quick, very stable and tracks like on rails in these conditions. Josh and I paddled about 3 miles or more (I was in my Cirrus). On our return I pulled out the footrest slide (Nick Schade design) and squeezed my 180 lb 6' inside to take a test run. My knees were sticking up between the cockpit, but I was able to enjoy the boat.
