Manatee locating?   Envious of just the thought of boating in January.   How's the testing going?

May be too soon to give it a grade of sorts, until you get it fully dialed in... but curious of your evaluation of the ride of the hull & how it compares to other similar Glastron/Carlson designs that you've experienced.
