I had some really good pics and video of scaredy cat up in the air but then the waves were crashing over us into the cockpit and my cameras was ruined when it floated past me in the cockpit, and the go-pros were knocked off the deck when we went through some waves.

this pic was right when we left then I put my phone away.

Real 4-6's lol... those shots were the loosest I've ever seen seen a cat piloted... most would have went back n put the boats on the trailer. Hats off to you all living the offshore dream.

Now I've never heard a thing about this 482 model and wonder why it it hasn't been brought into the discussion. I would think this might be a whole different animal....

Summer O, great thread. How would you compare the 1100's to the 1350's?
Thanks
