I really have enjoyed the boat and have added some accessories to the boat to improve the shallow water performance. Here in south Texas Tom, the fishing flats are considered between 6 inches of water to a foot. I added a Bob's Ultra Light flats jack that has helped tremendously in getting up in shallow water. I am now able to get up on a plane in approximately 7 inches of water where before this was not possible with the current setup. I have had a lot of inquires regarding your boat and of course everyone wants a demonstration of its capabilities. I'm having lot of fun [on] the boat and the majority of my clients seem to like it.
