The maiden voyage was a success!!  Yes, the boat floats ........ The motor was a little slow to start but after a mere dozen or so tries, it took off....  This time, Howard let the motor run till all the excess fuel was gone.  The trolling motor worked well and was in the water at a sufficient depth as well.  The electric anchors worked beautifully and the small Mercury motor was a good trolling motor as thought.  The only sour note in the entire excursion were the fish----for some reason they weren’t interested in any of our lures........  According to the fish finder they were everywhere, but they were a fickle bunch.
