hmm interesting dd...thats almost like a homemade happy troller! I gots me a 36" and a 50" actually sittin in the garage, but didnt know if another 50" would be good enough or if I should go bigger.

Also good idea about the socks up front--makes sense. I usually put some water in the boat too to help it sit lower.

Kinda dumb question here I feel like, but if I dont have the same size socks out both sides will that cause the boat to continually become sideways? Seemed like even when I borrowed socks and had two of the same size out the boat wanted to continually get angled..
