Thanks guys! I doubled down and went hooping for some lobsters last night with my friend, his son, and my son. We didn't really attack it with any real determination, but went and spent the evening in the wind shadow of Island Freeman in LA Harbor. Pulled up a couple shorts and tried things out at night. It's going to take some getting used to with the size, but I think it's going to work great. The one thing that is going to take some work though is the windage. This boat gets pushed around a ton, makes it really hard to do any slow maneuvering, especially around rocks, ropes like last night, putting the boat on the trailer, etc. I think it's going to eventually annoy me enough that I get a jet thruster system, maybe this one:
