Default RE: Jolly Jay fishing boat

Video footage will be provided, good or bad. Probably not until April or May. The rock test is a good one to measure line strength and roll characteristics. If you want to see how much force is required to pull this boat under, try submerging a 1 gallon empty milk jug. The milk jub is about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of the boat by air volume. Toes fish could not pull it under. The boat will be most vulnerable to roll in a static position. I believe forward momentum is key. Is heat build up in the motor compartment a typical concern? The kit has a fake stack I was wondering if I should make it functional? Kay, your last line sums it up, It's all about the fun. Next up, a container ship fitted to be a portable cooler. Have fun.
