Very cool Cowbro... this is great to see 😀

Good to know about the trim issue. I reinforced the forward anchor and chain locker in front of the berths.. just in case It needed trimming with weights. The two anchors, chain is all forward with a pile of other gear, chemical head etc... I will fill the 5 g water tank between the seats. Also I planned for 2 coolers under the seats, those can be filled as required.

Chicagoross said she rides best when loaded down. Glad to hear about your plowing into chop, comforting to know.

While surfing I saw water ballast bags on Amazon, very clever product.. check it out. I'll get a few, if not I'll use those regular disc weights if I need to more.

Thanks Jeff and GB.

GB, she is painted, I ended posting all the updates in the regular build-thread. She gets compliments everywhere she goes, and the EFI Suzuki is the best $3K i ever spent. lol.

This year has been busy with a bunch of work flipping a house/rental property, but i got out last Saturday for the first trip of the year chasing diaper-stripers, nothing big enough to keep.

Luckily my fridge is still stocked with lingcod and rockfish from last year so no worries there.
