    A very good looking fishing platform with some interesting features. It's the first time I've noticed a steering console on the left side and I not sure as to just why they are usually on the right side of the boat in the first place.

    I'm curious as to how you handle the well covering deck that is removed to set the chairs up front in the well when fishing or will it just be left at home when the boat is taken out?

    I think I might have problems loading the boat out in a strong cross wind since it looks like the only side rail alignment (which appear to be the wheel fender) does not stick up very high to help keep the boat aligned on the trailer.

    With the problem of invasive species we now have I really think all boat trailers should have open channel frames like the I beam on your trailer. Wished my trailer was constructed with an open channel frame of some sort or other.

    Just some of my dumb questions and comments about your nice looking rig.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
