    The "PACK" is open

    Took the new boat out today (3/9) to break the motor in some. Windy and choppy but not to bad
    Water temps ranged 39.6 to 40.4 in a cove. I left the rods home and just got to know the boat some.

    YES... all worked great. I didnt open it up yet but went between 2500 ~ 3500 RPMS. Made 2 trips from Ledgedale to Mangum cove.
    They say 2 hours and then you can go WOT. I have about 20 minutes yet alternating RPMS then i will give her HELL.
    I like the ride BUT it is not a glass boat and I did love my Triton. Still thinking about puttin a 6" J/P on. Not sure the difference is worth the cost.

    It was open all the way up to Wilsonville. I did not go all the way into Mangum cove ( State Launch )
    Everyone I talked to launched at Ledgedale.

    I took a ride to the State ramp. It is open with a small patch of ice in the northwest corner. You can launch with not problem of ice.
