Fairly dry

Response to Dry run!
Talking to Butch today (the driver at the time the video was shot) he said the first few bursts of spray that came over the bow immediately froze on the windshield and he couldn't see, due to temps being in the low twenties. He therefore (being a St. Lawrence River duck hunter) decided it would be best to steer from the upper helm and he did so (apparently without complaint, but I stand to be corrected, lol).

He commented that the hull sliced through the chop in magnificient fashion, and said the motors never missed a beat. He was enthusiastic about the boat, and also enthusiastic about seeing it come through Nashville, and into our area. It will be a lot of fun seeing this boat up on Old Hickory next season, it has an unmistakable style that has endured the test of time, and looks so much better than many newer boats, much like a vintage Ferrari next to a new Nissan............NO COMPARISON!!

I can think of any number of lesser boats that would have cost more money, that can not match the appearance of a classic 36 TF and would not ever be able to match the seakeeping capabilities either.

Regards,

Paul
