My buddy and I went out yesterday to explore some new creeks off the ICW. It's one thing to read reports on how great a boat is, and another to experience it yourself. The PA was WAY better than expected. It has the perfect combination of size, speed, and fishability. It was low tide and we were in less than a foot of water. I pulled the mirage drive and poled in inches on water with no problem. We saw small schools of reds, trout, and black drum. Unfortunately the fish were finicky with flipper making noise nearby. The boat is very stable. I was poling and accidentally pushed too hard falling backward to the seat :mrgreen: the PA did it's job and kept me dry. My buddy was able to keep up with me without any problems in my tarpon. He has a wavewalker, but I was effortlessly out pacing him in my PA. This boat can really move trust me. I didn't get it slimed this outing, but it's going to be an awesome fishing boat that's for sure!

Wow awesome set up you have. My fishfinder should be in this week. I am planning to use the rear hatch to hold my battery also. Yes the boat is super in skinny water. You are gonna love it!
