Thanks, The spit always seems to be packed on the weekends. Crazy is right!!

I tried the cooler today but I think it was to small (only 20" wide). I may try the fish tote as well. Capeguy - is your boat on the center float in front of N. River Marine? My boat is on a mooring at Mary's 2nd one on the shore side - Blue covers. Did anyone get out much this weekend?

Thanks. - I hope to get out this afternoon if the rain lets up. I need to arrange gear and figure out the storage situation (limited as you all know). I was thinking about securing a cooler under the helmsman seat /leaning post. Anyone come up with a better idea of how to use that space for...

Picked up the boat this afternoon from Bayside in Duxbury. They had it fueled up and waiting at the dock when I arrived. Got a good feel for the boat leaving Duxbury bay and cruising back to the North river. Me and the wife. The boat handled great. Very happy with my decision. I hope to...

Well, I pulled the trigger on the 180. I hope to have it later today. Thanks for all the input. The battery set up is one under each jump seat as well. Bayside Marine will be installing a Garmin 740s chartplotter and vhf radio w/ 4' antenna.

That is what I have heard and has been a concern. When I took the sea trial I had a friend come along and the sales person so I could feel the shifting of weight at drift and on plane. I didn't seem as bad as I had expected, but that was one 1/2 hour ride.

Parthery, Yes, it has tabs on it now. I'm glad they are there. Another thing I don't have to worry about later. It also has the dual batteries. Due you have the 150hp on yours? How are the scuppers sitting? Any problems with water in the bilge?

Capeguy, It is the one at Bayside. I will be keeping it in the North River as well. At Mary's. On the sea trial the boat felt great, very solid, dry. It was flat the day I took it out but it seems as though it would handle the chop well. How does it handle going across the bay to Ptown...

I have an F-250 for towing so no issue there. On the sea trial I trimmed the engine up and it seemed to help correct the walk a little. Any other suggestions (besides go faster)? Any others issues you have had? I really like the hull design for may day trips into cape cod bay (on good days).

I'm looking at a used 2005 Sportsman 180 w/ Yamaha 150hp 4-stroke engine. Any owner input about the boat - Pro's & Con's. On my sea trial it seemed to walk from side to side at low rpm (1200-2000). Thanks
