I did read the full story, just not all of the replies apparently. There is a difference. ;)

So you ordered a brand new boat but never even got to pilot a demo and are now worried how it would handle? Maybe it's just me, but if I was dropping that much coin for a new boat, I would want to know everything about it first, including how it rides. With that being said, it will be fine...

Well that was a huge waste of time for me taking it out. Not only that, but the boat in front of me at the ramp had their winch cable snap so it took even longer to get it. Better safe than sorry though.

For reference, my boat survived 90mph winds last summer with the canvas cover snapped on. Not a single snap came undone. However, it dragged its mooring anchor over 100yds. and my boat ended up on the beach.

I got this message from Geico Marine this morning: This message is to inform you that an ALERT for Tropical Storm Henri, which is expected to strengthen, has been issued and could affect your local boating area and where you keep your boat. As a GEICO policyholder in the forecast cone, you...

I hope you don't piss into your bilge.

Last year I would see a guy every weekend at our ramp who was in a wheelchair. He wouldn't pilot the boat, but he went out, every single time.

Why do you keep bumping incredibly old threads?

What does that say about me if I didn't get contacted? :oops:

Profish on my 228 as well, no problems.

Brackish water, but I do rinse when I get home.

Pictures?

Occasionally my rear tires will get wet, but our ramp isn't slippery so it's never a problem.

Price and location would help for those interested.

Time to update your signature. Congrats!

The bolsters are not meant to be easily removeable and reinstalled, therefore I would either leave them on or off and just deal with it. As for the cushions for the rear seats, they have a snap and then lift off of mounts. You should be able to see the snap if you look behind the seat cushion...

Turns off your caps lock please.

Only one here, but I also don't trailer much. Unrelated, but I think you need more tubes!

How do you buy a boat that you (or the previous owner) don't know what it is?o_O
