Good evening to all, its been a while since i've posted. I had some crappy experiences this weekend and wondered if anyone had advice/insight. We filled up the boat with gas and went to a local fishing spot. On the way there, we hit some nasty surf (i'm a new grady owner) and really felt while...

Hey guys, been a while since i've posted but heres one for all of you: Went on my boat last week, saw some pretty large foot prints on my boat and said oh no. Saw the tracks running over to the side gunnels and to no surprise, opened my cabin, saw some more foot prints atop of the sink and aft...
