Hey Forest, I might have gotten a few tips, ideas and pointers from Pat along the way as I built up my toon. Mine is a little more redneck farmer with less talent and skill than Pats craft, so I doubt he will admit any association, but it sure is fun to fish from. I love having everything right at my finger tips. Pat was pointing out my need for a quick rod holder yesterday and I do need one of those, so I guess I have a new project for a rainy day. I did do one thing that most floaters don't like, I put my motor in front of me and I like it there so much better. Yesterday I had my toon with a 30lb thrust motor trolling at 3.2-3.4 mph. Which may not sound like much but that was almost like pulling a skier to me, had to slow down in the wake less zone. I'm thinking I'll really like this toon its a lot of fun. Later J
