Good luck with your "new" T16.
I just picked up my "new" Pro Explorer a couple days ago (can't wait to take her out for her maiden voyage!
Trying to schedule some time to take surf launch/landing lessons from somebody so I can try to minimize the amount of yard sales I hold.

Since I live just "over the hill" from Ventura/Oxnard I just may get some practice out @ Malibu when I see a window of opportunity.

Thanks Dunegoat, a white sea bass will finish breaking that yak in ! Consult Andy at OEX Sunset for racking solutions. Really cool guy and great prices. Don't stop short - you got a Fabulous boat.

No WSB for me today. We caught some lizard fish and mackerel and used them for bait but did't get any flatties. We each caught a few cuda and half a dozen or so calico's and a couple sand bass. No trophies but I couldn't have had a much better time. After 8 hours on the water on that kayak today I can honestly say I couldn't be happier. You took great care of it and I appreciate that almost as much as I appreciate the deal you gave me. I just washed it down and I'm going to wire up the bait tank this evening. My buddy had the camera but we only took a couple pics. When he emails them to me I'll post em in a thread.

I'll give Andy a call and see what he's got. What I did today was get a 15' long 2x6 and lay the kayak on that to prevent any unnecessary stress on the hull and strapped it down and it worked ok. But I need to get a real rack or bed extender or something.

Thanks again Wade.
