Thanks John, boat's running good for now. We just rebuilt a steering ram due to a leaky seal and had to get some work done on the left hand lower. We got back on the water this weekend and ran 100 across the bay in 15-20mph winds with Warren and I don't think we broke anything (that I know of yet). Planning on doing some SeaDek very soon to get rid of the carpet and give it a nice customized look. I'll post pics once it's done.

I had a few more camera angles but was trying to keep video shorter,

The Dcb did not run, it was too choppy for that shallow of a tunnel.

The custom Sea-Dek flooring that's taken about 4 moths to go through the process of getting right will be here Thursday for my 28. I'll post pics after I get it installed this weekend. Be prepared for a lot of back-and-forth with Sea-Dek to get what you want.

Seriously? They didn't run the M29 because it was too rough? Obviously they knew it wouldn't run well in those conditions, so they left it on the trailer. Any under-30' boat with a pair of those 700# pigs on the back will not work well in the rough - regardless of tunnel depth.

I have had Sea Deck in mine for 2 years. It is great stuff. Castaway Customs has the file on mine. So the only difference (variable) should be the front foot rest to the rear seat length. Took less than a week back then.

I agree but it was not that rough for a run like Freedom made. Boat must be slow as all would have had proof via radar gun. Guess they thought is better to leave it on the trailer than make a bunch of excuses as to why it still does not run.
