I had a big problem when I picked up the boat, I had a long trailer tow home and in the the first mile I realized the boat was positioned wrong on the trailer because I had very little tongue weight. So my first stop was Wal Mart for a bigger drop hitch. That wasn't enough, so I moved the winch forward and moved the boat 6 inches forward. That did it, but at the expense of the last rollers coming off the back. It all worked out I got it home safe.

I launched it yesterday and it ran fantastic, and I was able to move the axels aft and make all the necessary adjustments to the trailer. now its perfect. I still have a lot of modifications to do on the boat, but I am very pleased with the ride of the hull.

On the fishing seen out west, Its looking very good. The bluefin and yellowtail are at about 70 mi from San Diego and moving north. The real good news is the yellowfin and Dorado are not that far behind them. I work part time as a captain on a long range boat out of San Diego so I get very good information. My plan is to get the SeaCraft ready before those fish get to 30 mi. Thanks to everybody for all the great responses. Hopefully my next post will be pictures of me launching it on its first fishing trip.

Thanks Chris
