Mo,
Thanks for the ideas. I have a 1/2 skirt that helps but on those hot days I prefer not to use it. The garden edging sounds like an idea as does the garage door rubber.

Fl,
I thought of that but everything else about the boat is great. Weight, seat etc. I tried for about 1/2 year to find something different but this is the best boat out for me... with this one exception.
