One picture of your last outing.

Finally got time to get out without having to deal with insane wind, and the water was perfect. Not another boat in sight.

After searching multiple times since 2015..... I finally spotted one! I've seen pictures other people have taken, but I've never seen one in person until today! We were about 40ft from it. It slid off the bank into the water and just stayed like that watching us. Looked to be 7-8ft. Not huge, but bigger than my wife wanted to see. They've been in North AL for years, but now that she has seen one in person herself, she says we have to sell the boat. So I guess we'll revisit that conversation and see how she feels about it in a day or two.

My wife saw one when we were in Savannah and never went back in the water. We had a lake house on Hartwell. I started to catch gar and then she didn't want to get into the water there! I hope your wife gets over it quickly!

Every surface of that boat would literally be untouchable where I live. Looks great though.
I was thinking the same thing. Would be near impossible for me to wash and dry without water spots. I would need to use DI water only and a quick spray wax. Very sharp color combo.
 
Good anchorage at the Southern end of Willsboro Bay, NY. Near Safe Harbor Willsboro Marina and Boats R Fun Dealership.
