All the effects are small. I may have lost 1 or 2 mph and on plane hasn’t changed. I had to put teflon slides on the trailer and now it loads and unloads better then ever. I’m 110% satisfied. I really want to do the inside now…. They said they can spray it lighter on the inside to save weight.
No complaint so far but I don’t usually slide it over rocks though. I’m usually on plane if I’m in skinny enough water to hit a rock, anything above 3”. Most rivers I fish are more gravel in the shallow water and gravel is no problem at all. Different rivers might present more of a problem???
I did have to put Teflon slides on the trailer to help load it in shallow water. Should have done that long ago anyway…
