Marinette Boat Forum

Should get it today. I took the boat out and tested it on a beach. Still read the same but inspected the nodes and bottom. Looks the same as last time I saw it. I'm leaving for Cuba tomorrow so I'll dangle it over and continue the search when I get back next week. Can I make extras and dangle lead d...
