I am also from the LA area (Torrance) a few weeks ago I purchased a 30' kachina shadow and pick it up in a couple weeks, I am a experienced lake boater, since I work in Long Beach "a stone throw away from the water" I am going to do more boating in the ocean now. It sounds like you go out year long, I would like to go boating with you but would not be able to keep up with only one 496mag, so is there any advice you can give me before my fist ocean boat launch?
thanks Radek
