A .50cal would mount nicely in the forward hatch.

I was just making a (true) joke, you know, when Kerry was slaughtering children in Vietnam.

Ah, politics.  Haven't been following it much.  I'll pay closer attention when the litter of candidates has thinned a bit more.  I hope that "Yeargghh!" guy stays in and keeps giving some good soundbits.

I'd get a strap and run it from the trailer over the stern and down on the otherside.  It OK the way it is if nothing 'happens', but if you drive enough you know it will.

Nice boat...
