Man! I need some videos of that boat ripping around!

Also a nice photo tour of the whole boat would be awesome.
I think the seavette is one of the most unique classics out there.
Love it!

That was a gamechanger. Allowed us (i.e. my wife) to work the deck without having to actually go out on it....

I do the exact same thing with my hitchhiker for my 23 Sceptre!
The addition of a dangling block of foam would make it foolproof though.
Good suggestion!

If you suspect its the battery, best thing to do would be to give it a load test.

It's just all the damn paying customers always get in the way!
