I drove the boat down to Cape Coral and he drilled all the holes and rigged it up. Took about 6 weeks to get the mast in and another to ...

Dimitri,Congrats on the baby. My wife is pregnant with our 2nd and due in Oct. I didn't buy the boat yet as I decided not to cut the mast and due to very shallow waters figured with a 4 ft draft would be stuck in mud in the marina many days.
