If I were in the market for Big-O. it would not be for a tri-hull of any length. Depth of boat and width are very important factors out there.

Grass carp in NYS are the triploid variety. i.e. stocked sterile fish and require a special DEC permit. I understand they really don't get very big i.e. 10-12 Lbs max. Those monsters we hear about are usually common carp which can get up over 20.
Allegedly, carp were brought over from Europe as a food and sport fish many many years ago. (boy, they blew that one, didn't they?)

I always take mine out. One - I don't have to worry about condensation freezing in them & two - I worry less about someone stealing them.

Cornelis - Glad everything worked out okay & you're fine. What I would suggest is to have your wife check out similar stuff on e-bay. Searching is real easy.
