: 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.

Nice Looking Boat. Looks like the deplacement works for you, if it weren't for the fact that your legs are too long for it. Josh can grow into that.
