Thank God that Jacob took that project over. That fusken rake made me loose my religion, and hurt my foot when I liked the sides off via frustration. LMAO

How's it handle the waves?

Is there any "sneezing" effect that you get sometimes on flat bottom? You know, going over waves and having water thrust forward & up, wind hits it then it's in your face etc....

I have run some pretty bad waves in this thing. The Res up here where I live in KS gets serious nasty on windy days. I got caught in one the other day. You wont get a drop of water on you unless its getting blown in by the wind which if you are going cross wind in a 25 mph wind you get sprayed pretty good. However you would get srayed in anything in that case. It doesnt pop on waves like a straight flat bottom does. If I could do it over Id have the exact same boat, seriously! Ive also seen no down side to the modv bow in mud so far.
