    Almost sunk my boat

    That is on the rear keel, port side. Goes into the area between the clean out plugs. There is no check valve on it. Should there up a scupper type valve?

    Army corp sucks

    We all boat. Boating is inherently dangerous. Life is inherently dangerous, get over it and stop sueing the deepest pockets. Your stupidity does not entitle you to someone elses stuff. If I hear "be safe" again it will be too soon. Rant over...carry on.

    New boat bling

    I got chastised for poor music quality by the kids the last week. Good excuse for 4 more polk 650s to replace the kickers in the tower. Also got a new mantus from @farrelltravis . And a new flag for independence day!
