Yea, I remember them. My Dad had a 45 on a 16 ft flat bottom and it would haul the mail!!! I have been in the boat and saw it hurt a black max's feelings.

Mark Anderson used a postal scale on my JAE21GE and found that about 38% of the weight was on the back of the ski. It handles great.

60/40 (front/rear) weight ratio is what we were shooting for with all the prototypes.
