[Water Rat]

To all, thank you very much for the replies. This is a bunch of college buds that don't share my enthusiasm for a canyon overnighter.

Capt. Chuck, thank you for the kind words. I actually kept the SeaCraft out of the water this season. Some family medical issues would have kept me from using/fishing her much, so have decided to take this as an opportunity to do something really stupid like a total restoration/refit. I may be calling upon you and others here soon for advice on that.

Peter, thanks for the advice - will definitely check out the bassbarn as well. Hope the new boat is all you hoped it would be.

Oz - am googling for that one now. If available that would fit the bill perfectly.

Regards,
Chris
