I want to say be careful Azlo. A lot of people on the water tomorrow have exactly two days of experience. Saturday and Sunday. If you aren't feeling real comfortable when you get to the ramp put the float of til mid-week if you can. A lot less nuts are out then.

Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

Thanks everybody. I cant wait for u guys to experience your own splash. I wish I could reply to every single one of you. To every one in dallas we will see you there fellas. On the side notes I was worried & kept looking for leaks & problems. The waves were crasy man. This tin boats make you feel the waves. I couldnt go full speed cause I thought I might do some damage to the hull. I never been in a aluminum boat before/ But anyway it calmed down & things were good. I noticed that I was looking at the sky alot when I would rev it up. Almost if I dont need to trim it. Things I need to do before I go out again is replace my winch it strip a gear, replace my rear lid. It flew open on the highway, forgot to lock it. & I need to level the trim reservoir to the boats trimed up position. It was leaking through overfill hole. I will fix & take some more vids.
