    Ah yes, it's good to have the bone saw available, but we don't use it when only a scalpel needed.

    X2. I find personally find it funny when folks say you've got twins so you should not need to use the rudders.

    How does it run and what kind of speeds are you getting with it? Is it more or less stable after the tunnels at trolling speeds?

    Some people take a day or two between visits to this site. Replying to yourself within minutes in order to bump threads up is poor form. Have a bit of patience.

    That might not be the feedback you were looking for, but it is honest feedback nonetheless.

    Some time the owner wants to "hear" what he spent his money on...so we give it to him....otherwise...I agree ;)

    Sea Rays don't run better than Bertrams. They are especially worse at docking speeds. What are you running right now and what do you hope to gain? Overall I'd say too much time spent for too little gain.
