Tom,

Cool, I'll definitely check out that boat.

Also... anyone have a recommendation for good spin pole length? The rules say 8'7" from "centerline of boat" to outbound end. Is that measurement different that a pole measured end to end? Is max length better? (geez, so many jokes come to mind)

Thanks,

- Ari
