No, that's what's nice about it. Trouble is you need calm water and enough space to bring it out on the Hip. But once out there, loosen the...
How does the boat ride at cruise? Does it run bow high? Does it take a while to get on plane. Generally on most all planning hulls and...
I've done it as well, I've come out some inlets with the tender on the hip and then slowly released it once we cleared the inlet (on calm days)....
All of the dock wood I've seen (the green) is treated with arsenic and dock builders still use it and you can buy it. It's labeled "tropical...
