Thanks guys for all of the compliments and encouragement
Today was the first day this year to get the skater out on the water. Here we go to see if all of this re-doing and re-rigging has paid off.

The bow steer problem is GONE!

The need for hundreds of pounds of ballast GONE!

Now I can truly start dialing in like a "normal" Skater!
Its like a different boat now.

(plus top speed is up)
