@@fishbluewater that’s awesome to hear! If you don’t mind what dealer did the install of the mercury, I’m in Florida too and I’m finding a hard time to get a dealer to agree to it?

[@Johnmarkoffline]

Do you remember what size where the waves that Day they look pretty good sized. Thanks

[@fishbluewater]

2-4ft easy

[@irishred3032]

Hey man just got a similar size whaler. Wondering what size/ kind live well you're running and tell me about your sea anchor. Trying to get ready for for the season here in socal! Thanks

[@fishbluewater]

We have a 50 gallon round chemtainer for a baitwell on it. For a sea anchor I picked up a small inexpensive one at a local nautical flea market but I also have a 6 foot para tech sea anchor that will put the brakes on if you need to
