Capt. Chuck,

We were honored to have you take a ride on CJ!
I wish I had my camera to take a picture of you at her helm!
Here's a picture of the locker door, an original with the bowriders going back to the mid 60's. This was before it was 'cleaned' up.

According to Ole Capt. Chuck, he had to change his BVD's
when he got home. I can't wait to take a ride myself.
See ya, Ken

I guess because your "Up front and on the side" but it just feels heavier and less hull slap. Imediately on plane from the hole shot but I think a set of trimtabs are in order with three people.

Btw: Carla needs to tell the story of how Frank Brown had configured a drain plug in his bow rider and filled it with water like a mini swimming pool for the kids when they were small

Per Frank Brown, not hard to do & kept the kids happy in their "pool" while Daddy got to fish!

Yes, trim tabs would be good....I tried with the raffle!
Ken, looking forward to your taking a ride...anytime! ... and this time I'll have my camera.
