I didn't have a say in the way this was painted Stacy ordered this way well all I like is the touch up now. I didn't know how I would like a painted boat but it turned out good to me.
I don't know how Sondra does it she put the bees on both sides in less than 5 minutes.
Tomorrow I will go see how she preforms
Ron
Can't wait to See Stacy's face

Finally got the Bee on the water
I liked the fact at this length you could just throw it in the back of pickup
As expected it floated very shallow
was easy getting into and away we went.
the little boat was very stable and really paddled best with light strokes moved along pretty good
was very nimble turned easy
I hit the cockpit size dead on easy in out and could still change positions and bring my knees up with out hitting combing
Picked a passenger up his first ride in a boat.
To sum up this little boat its stable easy paddling plenty of capacity even at 215 so my granddaughter should be like a cork in it. I am spoiled to the long boats and there speed and tracking if you dig the paddle in hard you get some swing I may put a small keel strip on it.
Well its ready for her now when her birthday gets here the fun will start.

Nice boat, Ron. I was hoping to see what you personally looked like, but you paid that handsome movie star guy (he didn't even wear a PFD!) to take you doggy out for a ride.
I'll go hire a handsome fella to pose for my picture too. You guys all cheat.

We might run a tally on here. How many boats are made for self? Kids? Grandkids?
Terrible, how we're ruining those upcoming generations!

Well fellows this is what is all about.
The wind was up high so I wouldn't let them on the water, next time.
The first question Cortney ask was how heavy is it
Then the little one had to get in on it
and then they were carring the Bee around the yard
But here is the best pic of all
I am in deep trouble here
Ron
PS we will float her when weather settles.

Judging from those grins , you are going to be busy. If not paddling with the one , making another for the other and then paddling with both of them.
