Merry Christmas, indeed!

I was pleased with how well the Aquaseal went on...confident it'll work, but will circle back if any hard lessons learned. Learned one lesson when attempting to mix the sealant and accelerant...the latter quickly melts styrofoam cups. Best to mix in a small 'cup' fashioned from aluminum foil.

I think Jay nailed it -- remember and focus on the good times. I'm sure that's what Kodi would want.

Thanks, all. Bought some Aquaseal, as it seems to be the dominant recommendation, and am anxious to try it. My LaCrosse convertible waders have held up well through four seasons, but need some fixin' up!

Gotta fix several leaks on a pair of breathable waders...Aquaseal, 3M 4200, Loon UV sealant or other?

Here here! And thank you, Eric, for fostering a site that is a true gift -- the chance to learn from and network with like-minded friends.

Trust in the Lord, Jon, and live each day to the fullest.

...and I'm hearing it's a done deal in 2019.

I'm hearing from biologists here in VA that the root cause for the drop in bag limit for mallards is because of habitat loss throughout the Atlantic flyway.

It's funny fellas... I was an active duty Marine for many years and have experienced the physical, mental, and emotional stress of service. What I learned most was the value of friendship and fellowship, which I have since found in my hunting--and especially duck hunting--pursuits. There is...

I have trouble picking my jaw up off the floor over this entire project/thread.

Above all, I love to hear my son say, "Dad, geese!" That's an invaluable experience for me. Heck, whatever the cost to keep that up, I'm in!

I will post another photo tomorrow with the straight edge coming back from the keep, but as far as I could tell by eyeballing it this evening, the cav plate is less than an inch above the keel. I should also note that I realized the angle of my motor might be a little too far trimmed up (not...

Here's a few pics to hopefully help diagnose the issues further... (and yes, I already have a new prop)

Carl -- I will take more pics and post this weekend. All -- appreciate the advice and suggestions. There clearly can be one or more issues at play and it's gonna take time and tinkering to get it right. More to follow on this one...

The cav plat is less than an inch above the keel. Possibly still too high? I've read recommendations about checking the cav plate height on plane rather than while sitting on the trailer. I think I'm a few holes up on the motor bracket, so I can futz with it next time on the water and check results.

All the stuff is an SE Sport hydrofoil with the no-drill fitting, which definitely improved my motor performance (although I still don't get up on plane as quickly as I suspect I should). I went with a 9 pitch prop and may try a 12 pitch, if for no other reason than to experience the difference...

I promise I was not standing on my head when I took that pic.
