Hey Mike, The idea for the self bail is to keep the bilge as clean and dry as possible. All the hatches, engine and cabin have gutters with drains but the self bail is an option that I like. I just don't like rinsing salt water into a engine compartment that is closed up. No matter how hard you try, you will still have salt build up. Here's a pic of the cockpit area showing the gutters on the hatch..... Dave

Hi Dave, Anything new with the Extreme? How is Ernie coming with the race version for the Doc that has the Pantera? It will be interesting to see with the new hull even faster than the old one. m

Dave,
GREAT looking boat. I can't wait to see how that thing runs. Keep us all posted.

PS: Your coozie have been keeping my "adult beverages" very COOL... Thanks again and give my best to Mark.

Hey Ben, We will have to sit down in Savannah and see if we can put some of these Koozies to use !!! Dave
