new to me this year. bought my first house on a lake and drove to TN to pick this boat up to park out front. rode last night with 350lbs lead in the back, wife driving, and 100lbs lead in the ski locker to balance out the wife. i don't really see a need (for me) to add more than that...but I probably will. anyway, it runs like a champ and I felt like bragging today.
