remember when you made your first ark....neutral being your best friend ..meaning don't try to over power motion of your boat, if you loose track of what you and the boat want to do a lot of times it's just best to put her in neutral and re-group.....I was keeping in mind the Owner was new to the handling of this type of boat...not all of us was around when the USS Merrimack was re-fitted in to the CSS Virginia.....

just saying...
