    The boat was nice. The captain was excellent. She was hard working and friendly. The only complaint I would have is the spot lock trolling motor did not work due to battery issues. As a result we spent a lot of time to set anchor every time we moved and she couldn’t get us to some spots like she wanted. I hope the boat owner will address this issue.
