Mariner review at Plastic Navy

The other issue I had was the rear flushmounts located behind the seat. They are quite close in and I couldn't store rods there without banging them with my elbows on most strokes.

Uh-oh.  I'll have to remember to bring rods to see if this is true.

Drew said it affected him, yet I could not hit them with my elbows if I tried. Now maybe it's because I am built like a lowlands mountain gorilla, but I think Drew and EE could touch the rods with their elbows... but the other 4 of us could not.

Seems that the rod holders could possibly be mounted at a slightly different angle to put the rods more towards the back, and less out to the side.  After all, the paddle they did was a test paddle, so they could find any areas that might need to be improved.  I am confident this minor issue can be easily resolved.

Jellied Again ?

Completely!

Has Cobra announced a date when they expect to start shipping production units? When will we be able to purchase one of these?

I should have a demo boat by Tuesday or so, and then they will start shipping about 2 weeks or so after that.  If you want to set up a demo before the tourney, let me know.  If you want to go big and place an order to get in line, also let me know.  I can't wait to our demo unit.
