Look at it this way, keep the same rule/deal, have a large family and you'll be in a 40 footer in only 4 or 5 years !!!!!

Well done on your new purchase, half the fun is fitting it out ! albeit a drain on the wallet.

I used to own a Trailcraft and kind of miss it a bit, it was a solid boat and really stable but the ride was pretty harsh. They didn't come with any foam flotation or even a bilge pump so it would be worth wile looking into it if you haven't already. I was going to stuff mine full of as many pool noodles as possible via the inspection/access ports in the floor but ended up selling it.

If the bilge is sealed why does it need more flotation?
What are the benefits of putting the noodles in there?
