Looks good man. Time for some slime.

Suweet....I was going to name my sled, "The Wife".  Until someone said, I had a great time riding your wife.  She was stable despite being on my knees.  Yea---I went with "Izzy."

Thought I'd chime in with some photos of the current Hog Setup.  She's running good...just need more trips to break her in.  No musky slime yet, but we've brought 3 nice fish boatside that never made it into the net.










Took off the Poling Platform solo in about 15 minutes:



Here's a quick video of the jet running on the river:
