Thank you Al for that detailed explanation. I think I'm leaning towards Gavin's solution as I'm 5'6" and moving the seat to widest point will not work well for this squatty body. It is a nice boat and I'd probably butcher it up doing what needed to be done. Thanks again.
If anyone is looking for a sharp, clean tritoon, that doesn't drive like a tritoon, this be it. Approx 160 hrs, new water pump and plugs on the G1 250 HO ETEC this spring. Been on Pomme all but 15 hours.

They've cut back on running water and have the lake at normal pool. Water had a slight muddy tea stain on the Lindley side last weekend, betting it looks pretty good now. Only fished for a couple of hours on Saturday caught 5 small keeps on spinner and ned in 5-10'.
Seems like some folks have gone back to work as far fewer fishing than this time last year.
My lake neighbor brought a boat down from Iowa and is selling for a widow. Looked pretty minty to me. $12,000. 150 merc.
will send his contact info for those interested. It was at pomme yesterday
Must of done somethin really bad to be banned from "his" creek.
For future reference you are banned from the Lindley side of Pomme from State Park to Pittsburg Park.
I don't have the link from the govt, but apparently on May 19 blue green algae detected along face of dam and in the cove where The Harbor restaurant is.
With all the cool weather, I think the spawn is jacked up. You can still catch males shallow and females 8-14'. Caught some males Friday that were really colored up. Don't know what water temp was as didn't even get boat out, just walked the bank.
1/16 oz pony head jigs and black/chartreuse skirts accounted for the crappie. And the nibbles...don't leave home without them.
Don't know about the bass, but I caught 41 crappie Friday, 4 keepers. Lots of colored up males and quite a few short females with eggs.
Last year was much better size wise for me.
Something weird is going on with the forum. I just had to verify I'm not a robot 6 times and normally threads that I haven't read are in bold. Just had to verify I'm not a robot again.
My local city golf course had crabgrass bad, one day we played and the crabgrass was all turning white and dying and rest of grass was ok. I asked one of the maintenance guys what they used. Generic Tenacity. I haven't tried it but it sure smoked those weeds.

Not cheap. Ok for fescue, rye grass, bluegrass. Not recommended for bermuda or St Augustine.
Welcome to the forum. My worm and bobber days were probably the most productive stretch as far as catching went.
Then I caught a bass on a plastic worm...
Excellent fishery. Spent many a day fishing and duck hunting the AR River backwaters from a john boat with a 9.9 when I was a youngster. Most of the year basically a chain of lakes with some current.
