Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Beginning in 1908, Alexander Graham Bell and engineer Frederick W. "Casey" Baldwin began experimenting
with powered watercraft. In 1919, with Baldwin piloting their HD-4 hydrofoil, a new world water speed
record of 70.86 mph (114.04 km/h) was set on Bras d'Or Lake in Nova Scotia.

That is good stuff Ralph!

The part I found ironic is that here we are about 100 years later and we're still trying to get these damn things to break 70mph.....
