RE: sea master question
I have to agree with the other respondants regarding maintenance and leaks. My motto is,"if it aint broke, don't fix it". As for power a good 46 is a good choice but a MDS 40 will fly it, especially if it is one of the new series. I haven't seen much power come out of the first series. If your's is one of the old "Black Head" series I would recommend putting it in your fishing tackle box and using it for weight but the new series are pretty good and will probably fly your Sea Master although with not with as much gusto as a 46.
Have a good New Year.
