Dave, I appreciate it. it wouldn't be a deployment per se, but a move overseas for about three years. that's a lot to ask someone for storage. It may be sacrilege here, but honestly I think i'll go with an aluminum sneak when I come back. my issue right now is that access to water is easy, but I have to carry or drag my boat to it from the parking area. not usually far, but would be a challenge with a boat this size, and I would surely destroy the bottom in a short period of time. its such a nice boat that I refuse to do that. a thick hulled alum sneak would allow me to do that without the heartache.
Roy, thanks for the pictures via email, you have a very slick rig. mine currently looks similar, but with more cedar per my location. very deadly.
