I'm on the fox submerge braid in 55lb I think it was, floats like a mofo.
Will be changing it for next year.

I've been taking a big soft dog bed for my Lab, although last weekend he decided that my bed was better and decided dad needed a cuddle, after 5 hrs I decided that his was a better bet for him.
The Mrs has ordered a thermal reflective mat for him, I'll put it in his bed for the winter. He also has a sleeping bag which he lays on and I flip over him when he settles.
My other lab has had a shoulder injury for years, he has Magnacare and a fatty acid tablet everyday, without them he wouldn't go anywhere.

13th July, was given a date of about 8 weeks originally, then was advised that they had tested it, then they moved and it went out in the first shipment after they moved.
This year I've been on a small lake, and some of the other guys smaller boats have struggled in the wind on there. I fished a 35 acre lake last weekend in strong winds, the RT4 coped really well even with waves that had white horses breaking.
I'm very glad I chose it over others that are on the market. I have 2 x 8.7Ah batteries, had 3 rods out, 2 of which were at about 120 yds out. Did some exploratory work too, didn't need to use the backup battery. It's such a well specified boat, remote battery switching, light intensity can be adjusted, main beam, 4kg capacity, 2 hook releases. And the wi-fish is awesome. Will upgrade to autopilot next year too I reckon, just for the ease of hitting the same spot without having to mark your line.
The battery charger is also 12/240v, so can use a leisure battery to charge on the bank should you need to.

Mine took about 10 weeks I think.
Yes it's a long wait, but the boat is fantastic, the amount of errors on boats/packages that get sent out is tiny compared to others. One of my mates got a AT microcat mk3 with the blue sounder. Other than the definition on the blue sounder being poor, the boat has been replaced due to a leak, the replacement got returned due to it leaning towards one side when sat in the water, he got a replacement for that too. Ended up getting a refund and bought the procat which seems fine so far.
CL have just sent out new chargers for the range extender to those who purchased a boat within a certain timeframe due to a couple of people receiving the wrong charger. Mine was fine, but still received a new one.

I always follow the prep guide in the stickies.
Soak for 24 hrs, boil for 10 mins.
Always get a great sticky consistency and the fish love it.

I love doing a chicken breast, Caribbean spices, then when half cooked add some sliced onion and some sliced red pepper. Serve with rice

I got a super cocoon this year, never slept so well, as long as it's flat.
Did a night a couple of weeks ago that was worse than ever on it, in the morning I found that I had over adjusted the middle legs, sorted them out and the second night was bliss.
It's a big beast, but comfy as hell.
