Boating Basics - Recommendations?

Just notice you might have a super vee. The BEST thing is a roll over cowl for the SV27!!

Yes, SV 27R. Where do I get that?

Most of the time I will probably boat alone, at some pond or lake I come across. Other then the group of guys I just learned about which are in my vicinity, I don't know any one else with a boat.

Rolling over is BAD, I hope that doesn't happen. My experience has been stalling out. Either way, I want to get my boat back. I will work on the tennis ball trick, And fishing pole set up. Will consider the small raft. I may even already have 1.

Here are the cowls:

Super Vee's are known for rolling over pretty easy in chop. Still, they are very fun boats.

LOL I've been hating the fishing rod for about 30 of that 40 for boat retrieval. I should probably practice casting at some point, I bet it would be much easier if I could get it close to the boat more than 1 try in 10!

As much as I hate it, I imagine that I'm putting on a pretty entertaining show for passersby. The cast either goes straight up, the reel catches too soon, and the ball slaps the water 20 feet off shore, or I'm WAY left or WAY right.

I'm often just taking a boat out to a retention pond for a bit of quick running, so the fishing rod is the only practical method for these short trips. Sure would like a (small) rescue boat though...
