Pulled the trigger on a 13’ Saturn. Seems to be in great shape and the accessories alone covered the cost. Great deal from a solid guy.

Remember, a single cubic meter of water weighs a whopping 2200 lbs; when it is moving downhill fast, it packs a tremendous amount of kinetic energy.Quote:

Thanks for the reality check. I’m smart enough to know I have a shit ton to learn and plan to take it slow. I also realize that no matter how much you know......shit happens, and often it happens to those who claim to know the most. I’ve spent a little bit of time rowing a cat on small rivers and will be taking the La Llorona (still working out the name) for a still water systems check in the morning.
I have a few buddies that own drift boats and I plan to go with them to get my feet wet. I will definitely check out your suggested reads.
