Default Like a kid waitin on Christmas

Well boys, true to my word, my Tohatsu will be here next week and they start building my AlWeld this week.
I decided to go with a 1552 after looking at a 1556, THE 56" bottom looks like a floating deckboat, it is huge. I have driven an Edge for the past 2 years, they have the straight sides, makes them look smaller than they actually are. The AlWeld with the flared sides looks huge compared to the Edge. The Edge is a great boat, but, I want something I can drive without having to be on the edge of my seat the whole time. Driving an Edge with 64hp on the back is not for the weak of mind, slow of hand, or beginners, I am quickly reverting back to all 3
Also decided to bite the bullet and get a torsion axle trailer from Gerald and Kyle. Had a torsion axle trailer years ago under a bay boat, loved it.
A big THANK YOU to Gerald, Kyle, Tohatsu, and AlWeld. I expect this to be the last rig I own
Can't wait to get it together and start testing in Lacassine, I'm having withdrawls already.
It is seldom that I test a rig I am so inclined to buy. When the Edge first came out, they were rockets, I knew I had to have one. The original design is still the fastest aluminum boat built. PERIOD! Not necessarily the most comfortable, but the fastest. I'm beginning to lean more towards comfort nowadays.
Time for a bit of comfort, hello AlWeld, time for some ease of operation, hello Tohatsu, old friend. Tohatsu was wonderful to me when I raced for them, best motor sponsors in the world, they have not changed personalities.
Thanks to Gerald and Kyle for making it all happen.
Danny
